PAUL INSECT
2009-02-13Born in the South East of England he studied graphic design for 4 years at Hastings and Salisbury art colleges.
Paul, better known in the design industry as Insect is the creative force behind the London design collective, 'Insect', he created with his former partner LUKE. During 10 years, they've worked together as PAUL INSECT and Luke Insect. Now PAUL is working by his own.
Equally, Paul’s work has evolved considerably. Victorian graphics have been replaced by Dada-ist collages fusing adolescence, aggression, and rough-around-more-than-just-the-edges pornography. These motifs are tempered by a joyous use of colour and an ambitious style. Equally, the images are provoking and provocative: dripping as much with sensitivity and gravitas as they are with sex and death. Moreover, they are a window onto the mind of the frustrated modern male: boiling over with unkempt aggression and sexuality, but yearning somehow for a higher moral purpose than the gradual accumulation of acceptance. Clowns crack and go on the rampage; kids in cowboy outfits contemplate the worth of their peers; and babies are contented to consider the consequences of the quantum age.(artnet)
Paul INSECT did also work on DJ SHADOW ARTWORK.
