Paul Scoonover is an artist who’s works range from highly detailed stippled pen and inks with an Escher feel, to expressive free-flowing, colored pencil designs, to bold, large-scale acrylics combined with textural mixed media.
Pen & Ink
With a rapid-o-graph pen and surgical precision, lots of dots become complex illustrations over several months and countless hours. If you study a reflected image, it creates a parabolic view of the landscape that is translated into geometry and shadows.
Colored Pencil & Paint
Paul first connected to art through the colored pencil as a child. After years of training and professional experience, it is still through the colored pencil that he expresses emotion. Many of these evolve into acrylic paintings.
Sculpture & Mixed Media
Connective and kinetic, these three-dimensional pieces are created of gears, cut plastics, gesso, twine, splashed with acrylics or spray paint. Mounted in stacks with pins and glue, they are connected together on canvas or wood forms that add another dimension to Paul’s art.
Love Knoxville Series
The Love Knoxville series is a tribute to the landmarks of the heart and soul, a love letter written to a city. Each piece represents more than one hundred hours as a labor of love, taking multiple photographs to capture angles, shadow, and light and then “painting” each segment and tiny detail in Illustrator, to create an artistic interpretation.
