Paul Merrick applies a painterly approach to his practice, searching for alternative surfaces and materials to compose his work. Paul is opening his studio as part of the Ouseburn Open Studios this weekend at 36 Lime St, Newcastle.
Commissioned by the North East Contemporary Visual Arts Network (CVAN), this is one of eight films that will be exclusively launched in partnership with This Is Tomorrow over an eight week period. Taking stock of the increasing national and international recognition that artists based in the North East are attracting, the films profile and celebrate the recent bodies of work and wider practices of the selected artists.
