Artist statement:

I aim for an aesthetic experience that lingers with the paint on the surface of the canvas, free from the distraction of illusion or allusion. In a Munson painting the three dimensional space is with the actual texture of the paint not an illusion created by it. In my view paintings tend to be most rewarding when you get up close and look at the paint strokes.

Naturally people will experience a range of emotions and make any number of associations with my paintings. But that is the nature of perception generally. A beautiful garden stimulates all sorts of thoughts and feelings, but it is essentially about plants and trees and how they are positioned. My painting is about paint.

Paul Munson
