Paul Blomkamp was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1949. He spent 20 years creating stained glass windows and at 19 years of age was awarded with a commission to create the largest stained glass window in the world at the time. The stylized nature, attention to detail and master craftsmanship required in stained glass windows combined with his desire to paint the invisible has given his artworks a unique Blomkamp style.
Paul has an unquenchable thirst for energy: energy transmitted through light, colour and texture. If anything, his work can be described as transcendent - visual masterpieces created outside of time and space to truly encapsulate the ultimate physical motivator in our universe: energy.
Whether it be slashes and dashes of straight lines of vivid colour, intimate scenes of domestic tedium or the holiness of light flowing through a stained-glass window, Paul Blomkamp’s artworks reveal a desire to make visible that which is often obscure.
