Paul Hedley - Emotionally uncomplicated and unpretentious.

Paul Hedley has been painting ever since he can remember, although his style has changed and developed over the years. An education based on traditional art techniques of drawing and painting plus the influence, the French artists Edgar Degas and Édouard Vuillard have influenced the development of his art works. Hedley paints with compulsion, subtly influenced by his environment and daily experiences. 

Hedley is technically masterful as a painter and draughtsman; he works with a limited palette of colours thereby allowing him to emphasis tonal values and relationships within the painting. His paintings are emotionally uncomplicated and unpretentious; they are a distillation of a moment in time. As Degas wrote, ‘Art does not reach out. It sums up.’
