A self titled explosive artist, Paul Oz experiments with acrylic paints to create his amazing portraits of some of the most famous icons, movie stars and sports stars in the world. His passion is undeniable. In an interview with Wishbone Publishing, Oz refers to art as: “A way of life, a job, a passion” and that is why we are so excited to meet him at the Artmarket Gallery this month on Saturday 14th March.
On the evening, we will have a brand new original released by Paul which we have had a sneak peek of recently. There is no denying that this piece of art will amaze everyone at the event, and with only one original piece, who will be the lucky owner?
His inspiration comes from his own admiration of sports, icons and Star Wars. Seemingly enamoured by the Formula 1, he has some incredible pieces of art in celebration of Lewis Hamilton and Ayrton Senna. He also encapsulates the victories of other Formula 1 stars when travelling the world to work alongside these sportsmen, live painting these celebratory moments to sell out shows in every Paddock Club on the worldwide Formula 1 calendar.
Large scale, three dimensional impact paintings is Paul Oz’s recognisable style. Whether you’re investing in an original piece or securing a hand embellished canvas or a limited edition paper, the three dimensional effects are prevalent and astonishing. His canvases are huge, and support up to 2cm depth of acrylic paint, giving a deeply textured three-dimensional effect.
Paul Oz Artist has some pretty famous clients. He handed Bruno Mars a portrait of himself during his 24k Magic World Tour, he was commissioned for a piece of art for Muhammed Ali’s 70th birthday and even honoured Star Trek’s 50th anniversary with a custom piece of artwork. His collectors include Jenson Button, Sir Alex Ferguson, British hip hop artist Wretch 32 and Theo Paphitis.
