Paul McGowan (born 1967 in Margate) is an artist and fashion designer, currently appointed as artist in residence at the Eden Project.〔(Eden Project website )〕 He is a former student of the Falmouth School of Art, and had his first exhibition in St Ives while still a student.〔(On the edge of creation ) Western Morning News〕 == Biography == McGowan established himself as a fashion designer at a young age, becoming the youngest designer to have ever sold a collection to fashion house Browns at the age of 20, and went on to work for a variety of well-known fashion industry names including Gianni Versace.〔("Artist Paul hangs high over Eden" )〕〔(Living on the Edge ) Sustained Magazine〕 He won the Tate magazine award while still a student.〔 A meeting with Tim Smit at a charity auction led to McGowan becoming artist-in-residence at the Eden Project in Cornwall and the appearance of his paintings in the ''Mediterranean Biome'' under the title ''"Living on the Edge"''.〔(Paul McGowan at home in the dome ) Metro〕 A tryptich from Paul McGowan, working with illustrators Mark Lascelles Thornton and Michael Cole, and artist Chris Stocker〔(Art beat: Paul McGowan's sinister triptych to Dartmoor ) Guardian.co.uk〕 was donated to the SpectrumArt 2009 Auction. The auction is to raise funds for the Cornish charity working with those affected by autistic spectrum disorders. The piece was inspired by a genuine Dartmoor Prison door which had been graffitied by prisoners and which McGowan had at his studio. In June 2010 Police in riot gear were sent to raid central London gallery Mauger Modern Art after a fake bomb in the window which was part of Paul McGowan’s exhibition ‘Precipice’ had caused reports of a "suspicious” device. During 2010 Paul McGowan opened three progressive bodies of work that follow on from the Eden Projects "Living on The Edge" Program. Each of the 3 shows have its own identity. These new works were produced on McGowan's Ark Studio that was given to him by Spectrum, a Cornish autism charity that is heading a pioneering study in the relationship between autism and art. A program that McGowan is participating in and helping Spectrum to develop. In each of the shows a selection of work from McGowan's experimental ‘Blockhead Project' will be exhibited. These works will include an audio piece made for the project by American guitar Legend Gary Lucas who has previously worked with Jeff Buckley and Captain Beefheart. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul McGowan (artist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
