Artist

Biographical Information: 

American artist Paul Maxwell (born in Frost Prairie, Arkansas) is a prolific artist who enjoys working in many different media. He is a well known sculptor, painter, creator of functional art forms and conceptual art, and is also a printmaker. Maxwell is the inventor of a printmaking process which now makes possible (for all artists of the world) the use of an expanded and enriched printing medium. The medium is maxwell-pochoir aka acrylic casting or stencil casting. The printing process is named after the artist. Maxwell-pochoir is similar to serigraphy; however, it uses a unique acrylic molding paste (artist's material) which permits work in a heavy, precisely controlled relief that can be applied to various surfaces, including paper, canvas, wood, etc, This process uses techniques and materials that make possible a substantial relief element in printmaking (allowing for a much greater three-dimensionality than had ever been possible before in any printmaking medium. In addition to producing art, Maxwell has scripted, produced and hosted more than a hundred art oriented television programs for the world's first educational television station. Maxwell's art has been included in hundreds of one-person and group exhibitions globally and is included throughout the world in the permanent collections of numerous museums, universities, libraries, corporations and is extensively collected privately.
