Paul Gunn was born in London, in 1934, the only
son of Sir James Gunn, R.A. He was educated at Ampleforth College, and then
spent two years in the Life Guards. Much of his early life was spent at
Carsthorne on the shore of the Solway Firth, where he spent happy holidays
roaming the wild sea shore, and the surrounding countryside, developing a great
love of nature and the sea. He took up painting seriously after his father died
in 1964, when after 15 years in industry he became an art student, studying at
the City and Guilds School in Kennington under Rodney Burn and Robin Guthrie for
four years.
Like his father, he specialised in portrait painting for a number of years, but then turned to landscapes.
He has exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of Portrait Painters,
has pictures in national collections, and has held 16 one man shows between
London and New York. He now exhibits mostly at his home, Ramster, where he has a
permanent exhibition of recent works on view by appointment.
Paul is a well trained and
disciplined craftsman and he has travelled widely in his search for subjects. He
paints mainly in middle tones, in oil on board, and his charming pictures depict
with equal success the soft grey light of London, the pearly mist of a
Vietnamese morning or the sun sparkling on the Mediterranean. A keen fisherman
all his life, he excels at painting the effect of light on water.
