Introducing JP Paul's upcoming major series for 2024, titled "Challenging Perceptions". The complex mixed media works came to life after revisiting an earlier body of work created years ago. Made in his current SE Asia studio, the large-format, hybrid analog-digital paintings feature Paul's signature textural treatments, acrylic painting, acrylic pen drawing, screen-printing, direct-printing, image transfers, and thin color washes to enrich the layered works.
See a sampling of JP Paul's long-anticipated Habitat series, work originally envisioned through a collaboration with renowned painter, Carlos Perez-Franco, and alternative process specialist, JP Paul. The large-scale works (some over 2 meters long) feature several interesting methods and techniques.
Damien Pent discusses JP Paul's recent series of action/process paintings with the author. The deeply textured acrylic works feature intricate patterns and markings on large, recycled canvasses.

Altsur is proud to announce the availability of three more paintings by renowned Uruguayan artist, Carlos Perez Franco. Two are small works from 2014, and the third is one of the artist's selections from a previous show in 2007 that we were fortunate to re-acquire from an estate sale.
