Paul Lofthouse
Living in Southport, Paul Lofthouse creates both sculptures, using materials as diverse as metal, clay, concrete and stone, as well as exquisite paintings. During his travels abroad as a young sea man, Lofthouse visited many exotic places around the world which appears to have influenced his vibrant hue usage and energetic application process. Lofthouse revealed that he finds great pleasure in painting outdoors and his most recent work has involved dance- and sport-inspired figurative shapes.
