AWARD

1989 RCA Travel Scholarship: Easter Island

Paul Kessling was born into the Nineties generation of Emin and Hirst,  Paul Kessling is as remote from the short-shock spectacle of Brit-Art as he could possibly be. Training as a sculptor under Eduardo Paolozzi at the Royal College of Art  and on a travelling scholarship to study the Easter Island statues when his career took an unexpected swerve. Paul Kessling hadn't much room for materials in his rucksack and had picked up some bottles of ink en route.  Back in England,he began to experiment with Japanese brushes and pure cotton paper, finding the true subject for his new technique when he moved to the Oxfordshire countryside.  

Things have since changed - a huge progression as Paul Kessling  works with large canvas and paper, works in oil abstracted from his early experiences at Easter Island 

 PRESS:

The Palace of Westminster commissioned Paul Kessling to paint a series of work in the style of  the 1930's Transport Posters. The selected  work is now on permanent exhibition at Fielden House  as part of the The House of Lords permanent collection
