Framed original

Paul Corfield’s iconic style of highlighting just how idyllic the English countryside is, and in particular his hometown in Dorset. Paul’s style combines the minute details and strategic application of paint with his immense depth of knowledge surrounding colour theory. The result is a captivatingly vibrant naive style landscape of warm golden pink hues and soft grass green tones.

Paul has described his painting style as ‘Idealism’, pursuing his own ideal of life. He strips existence down to the basics; in his work there are no telephone wires, no street lights, and no busy roads for cars. This piece calms the mind with this timeless landscape of a world that many of us wish we could live in.

From sunset-soaked hills to seaside cliffs and snow-laden trees, Paul’s beautiful landscapes explore the beauty of the British countryside. Presented an idealised view of nature, his limited edition prints and original oil paintings add a feeling of peace and tranquility to any living space.

Paul has lived in Dorset all his life, and he has never lived more than ten miles from his favourite painting location of Middle Beach at Studland near Swanage. “I’ve probably painted it a hundred times – maybe more!” Paul has dubbed his painting style as ‘Idealism’, pursuing his own ideal of life. He strips existence down to the basics; in his work there are no telephone wires, no street lights, and no busy roads for cars. It’s a world many of us wish we could live in, with views we would like to look upon. Paul says although the paintings are idyllic, everything still looks like it is meant to be there and nothing feels superficial.

A former engineer, Paul brings the exacting techniques of that career to his art, with his incredibly precise subjects, deep knowledge of colour theory and huge attention to detail – he uses an OptiVisor; a pair of glasses with precision-ground optical glass lenses, when he is painting tiny details a fraction of a millimetre in size.

Paul’s art and Asperger’s have proven to be an incredible combination which has made him a prolific and successful artist. “I was good at art at school and my teacher said it could be my career. So, when I left school I applied to art college to study technical illustration. Based upon my portfolio I was accepted straight away, but the thought of being around all those new people meant that I eventually turned the place down. That was probably the first time that my autism had a real life- changing effect and it has done ever since.
