A new feature on the news page is a monthly questions and answers with our artists to find out a little bit more about them. To kick start it off we have 5 answers from Paul Denham.
Which artists do you most admire?
Casper David Friedrich- for his luminous skies and expansive landscapes.
John Constable- beautiful painter and in my opinion just as ground breaking as Turner.
Zao Wo Ki- for his abstract markings and fusion of texture and smooth fields of colour.

What is your favourite poem?
Speak of the North! A lonely moor
Silent and dark and tractless swells,
The waves of some wild streamlet pour
Hurriedly through its ferny dells.
Silent and dark and tractless swells,
The waves of some wild streamlet pour
Hurriedly through its ferny dells.
Profoundly still the twilight air,
Lifeless the landscape; so we deem
Till like a phantom gliding near
A stag bends down to drink the stream.
Lifeless the landscape; so we deem
Till like a phantom gliding near
A stag bends down to drink the stream.
And far away a mountain zone,
A cold, white waste of snow-drifts lies,
And one star, large and soft and lone,
Silently lights the unclouded skies.
A cold, white waste of snow-drifts lies,
And one star, large and soft and lone,
Silently lights the unclouded skies.
Speak of the North by Charlotte Bronte
