The Belle Époque Today: The Art of Paul Brason, PPRP, RWA

HRH Prince Michael of Kent
Paul Brason, 1986
A past president of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters (PPRP), Paul Brason has been exhibiting his work since 1977. His large figural paintings have a haunting quality to them. With subjects composed of detailed planes of light, Brason employs a sense of color that allows his models to seem to break away from their backgrounds. Brason has painted a host of exclusive commissions from high-profile sitters including HRH Prince Michael of Kent.


Known primarily for his portraiture, Paul Brason is also an accomplished painter of non-figural works including studies of interiors, genre paintings and landscapes. This multi-talented artist has also been involved in publishing, working with the Tate Gallery on the book, Voyage Round Great Britain and as editor for Banks' Florilegium. This prize-winning artist now resides and keeps a studio in Bath. To see more of Brason's work, visit his official Web site
