Paul Shakespear’s minimalist works constantly explore the material properties of paint. This painting is beautifully surfaced. The artist strives to achieve translucence, depth or even a stony surface. The work has no narrative. It has some mark making, but it’s subservient to the tactile quality of the painting’s surface. It’s all about painting as object. He applies close to forty layers of think acrylic glazes that are brushed, troweled and rubbed on. The final layer is often an equisite highly polished surface. The artist compares painting to making music, an activity beyond words, a reaching for the emotional and unconscious world. His work has been exhibited in the U.S., Europe and South America. He is in numerous collections, including Addison Gallery of American Art; Ann & Graham Gund Colleciton; Fidelity Investments; University of San Diego; Berkshire Partners and De Cordova Museum. Paul Shakespear lives and works in Cambridge, Massachusetts. A native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, he was educated at Boston College...
