"Paul" is an 8.5" x 11" gel plate portrait of a young Paul McCartney, created using a vivid blue palette and painted in reverse. This technique brings a raw, textured energy to the piece, echoing the youthful optimism and melodic brilliance that defined McCartney's early years with The Beatles. The reversed painting method distorts and deepens the image, inviting viewers to see beyond the familiar face and into the creative mind behind it. The bright blue color feels fresh and vibrant—symbolic of Paul’s boundless musicality, charm, and the way his melodies seem to spring to life even decades later.
This portrait is part of a four-piece series celebrating The Beatles, with each artwork focusing on a different member—Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, John Lennon, and, of course, George. The choice to depict them as young men emphasizes their early energy and promise, a nod to the era when they were shaping the future of music. The bold red of George contrasts against the individual palettes chosen for the others, highlighting his distinct presence within the band. This series is more than just a tribute; it’s a reimagining of their legacy through a fresh and innovative artistic lens.
