About Paul Baden
sculptor and artist
Paul is relatively new and fresh to the fine art scene. He was a cartographic draughtsman for over 20 years and has always been
fascinated by the undulating landscape that surrounds us.
He is a self taught carver and has found his own way of working with
that material. When he first used plywood he was taken by the way the uniform layers
mimic the contours found on maps.
So what better material for a
map maker to use for his sculptures? As the wood veneers has a different
character, texture and colour every
sculpture creates its own unique three dimensional landscape that tempts
the hand to explore it.
What on the surface appears a utilitarian material hides an amazing beauty within its depths. Finding that hidden beauty within the plywood sculpture is the challenge Paul loves.
