Paul Czainski's work on exhibition at Staithes Gallery

Paul Czainski was born in Dewsbury and still lives in West Yorkshire though his work takes him all over the world. He studied at the Jacob Kramer School of Art, Leeds and then at Goldsmith's College, London where he had a highly successful sculpture show at the Elephant House Gallery and took his postgraduate diploma in 1977.

He is one of the most sought after specialist artist/decorators in the UK and his murals, trompe l'oeil paintings, graining, marbling, fabric and wallpaper desdigns grace the homes of his many celebrity clients including Ringo Starr, Mick Jagger, Anne Robinson, the Sultan of Brunei and Prince Amyn Aga Khan. He paints detailed still-lifes echoing the Dutch tradition for his London gallery while his cottage in Staithes inspires witty and original surrealist portrayals of seaside themes and highly skilled paintings on driftwood.

Exhibitions include:

WH Patterson, Mayfair, London
Gladwells, City of London
Gallery Iris, Todmorden, West Yorkshire
Cupola Gallery, Sheffield
Mall Galleries, London
Hourglass Gallery, Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire

He has taught trompe l'oeil and painting at Perralta, Italy and lectured on historical paint techniques at Queen's House, Greenwich, Dean Clough Galleries, Halifax and the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum.
