“Wet” (2023) – Hyperrealistic portrait drawing by Paul Stowe

After a 20-year hiatus, Paul Stowe picked up his pencils again and began drawing once more in 2012. Since 2016, Paul has been a professional artist and has received awards worldwide. He initially exhibited and sold his work in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Thailand. Today, he lives and works at the Centre for Contemporary British Art and the Tate Modern Gallery in St. Ives, Cornwall. In his open studio and commercial gallery in the town, he spends hours, weeks, and months creating incredibly detailed drawings. These are inspired by the abundance of artists and art in the surrounding area. His work is on permanent display at the Museum of St. Ives and in private and corporate collections around the globe.
