Paul Lemmon

Paul Lemmon's paintings are based on the disruption of digital videos taken from film, TV, and social media.

He exploits the underlying structure of these files to explore the shapeshifting qualities of the digital world, foregrounding the illusory effects of ‘the screen’ and its influence on our idea of truth and the real world.

Paul works primarily in oil paint and is interested in reversing the process of digitisation by transforming immaterial subjects from cyberspace into physical paintings. There’s a sense of truth about a painting, you can stand in front of it, it has substance, gravity, and presence. In that sense, he aims to highlight the way in which the screen, though powerfully magnetic, is really just a performance - fleeting and transient - whereas a painting is solid, persistent, reliable, and whose grounding and edifying effect can be similar to that of a walk in nature.
