  GLOSSOP VIRTUAL GALLERY | PAUL TAVERNOR
"Wild at Heart"

With no formal art training, I feel it was my early days at primary school which taught me the basics and helped me on my way. Now 26, I believe 22 years of experience have taught me more than I would ever have learned at college.

Animals have always been my main subject matter. However, I have completed some unusual commissions including a five foot long pen-drawn dragon which took me three months to complete. Also I was approached by a musician to illustrate his album cover. After a dose of inspiration, I designed a giant lizard bursting out of a keyboard.

I also work in three dimensions, producing life size animals out of foam and plaster. At my most recent exhibition I produced a six foot tiger shark chasing a four foot dolphin. My next foam friend will be a life size rhino charging out of a crate.

My latest painting, which is still to be completed, is a tiger setting a small bird. Imagine your domesticated tabby, but only more devastating!

  ABOUT THE ARTIST
Image loading...About the artist
My true passion for wildlife started with a book entitled 'Fight for the Tiger'. The animals are extremely endangered so now I dedicate my time to their protection.

I am a member of the EIA (Environmental Investigation Agency) which undertake dangerous missions in order to bring the tiger's plight to the attention of the world.

The animals I paint are the only source of inspiration I need. I hope one day our appreciation will be equal to humans. It shall be a very lonely planet if we inhabit it alone.
