ABOUT Me
I'm Paul Bell, an independent artist exploring Manchester's urban landscape through photography, collage and mixed-media processes.
I love the buzz of Manchester, the way it's always on the move and changing. I enjoy the layering of different architectural styles but also the way the art, the posters, advertisements, graffiti and tags are layered over themselves and the way they are scattered throughout the city. They're constantly changing; I can return to a spot several months later and the area has morphed into something different. There's an endless landscape for me to work from.
I enjoy taking fragments from different areas and creating my own landscape. Sometimes I will work into photographs or create a cyanotype, maybe a pencil sketch or a digital collage using photographs I have taken in and around the city.
