Artists Q-Z > Paul Ware (6)
Paul Ware resides in Homewood, Alabama. He has a B.A. in Religion from the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee and a J.D. from Washington and Lee University School of Law in Lexington, Virginia. He has practiced law in Birmingham, Alabama since 1986. There is a significant spiritual and meditative aspect to his work. He tends to draw his inspiration from classical, religious and decorative imageries, often cross-referenced and linked by his materials and mixed media. There is a great variety of technique, materials, and size in his work, from tiny, heavily worked and detailed icons, to larger, freer figurative canvases.
His smaller works of icons, landscapes and miniature interiors are often executed on irregularly shaped, cast-off pieces of sheet metal, tin, aluminum and copper, hammered and primed then intricately painted with ink, gouache and acrylic media. This process gives the works an intimate, jewel-like quality.
