PAUL LIGHTFOOT

Are
pictures worth a thousand words? Artist Paul Lightfoot isn’t
taking any chances; his writing inspires his paintings. Lightfoot
is an English artist with a studio in France, whose work is
a combination of art and literature. Prevailing Winds,
the name of his blog, is based on stories and writings that
look at the curiosities of life with an innovative approach
to the visual arts.
Like
Ruben Cukier,
our other featured artist in the current issue, Paul Lightfoot
is self-taught and works in the surrealist style. Love, death
and the relationship with our environment are grounds for stories
which are made into paintings. The blog, at this juncture in
his career, is his principal concentration, although the writing
-- if not already -- will eventually be painted.
With
the ever increasing popularity of blogging, Prevailing Winds
is an artful innovation and definitely worth a visit. To learn
