Art Auction - Arms Around the Child, Timed

Paul Stephenson lives and works in London. His second London solo show "Fireworks" was in November 2019. He and his work have been described as an "exciting new hybrid between photography and other media, Stephenson is one of the most interesting lens based artists working today."

"Reflection Paintings start life at auction. Stephenson uses a photographic process to permanently superimpose images onto original works. They’re the kind of reflections you might pay little attention to, but when they’re immortalised in oil on canvas, the effect on the artwork is undeniable. Stephenson explains, ’I started concentrating on these superimposed images, and seeing the beauty in them.’ The billowing cloud-like additions to Reflection on Jane Camp, originally painted by Alexander Melville, 1877, redefine Camp’s serene expression, and add a mythical aura to an otherwise face-on, austere Victorian portrait."
