 he image of Binnie's work is vivid and is, "Ukiyo-e but not Ukiyo-e", something that you may encounter for the first time, an amorousness that attracts one's intense attention.
Paul Binnie was born in 1967 in Alloa, Scotland, and graduated in 1990 with an M.A.(Hons) in Fine Art from the University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh College of Art.
He spent three years in Paris, where his growing interest in Ukiyo-e became an obsession, and in 1993, he went to live in Tokyo, where he learned the skills of woorblock cutting and printing, often using the theme of Kabuki.
Paul has exhibited in Tokyo, New York, London, Hong Kong, Paris and Sweden. He is a regular exhibitor at the CWAJ Annual Print Show, and his recent commissions include a conversation piece of Viscount De L'lsle and family; a suite of proposed Noh paintings for the Nihon Daigaku Rooms of Pembroke College, Cambridge; a group of cover designs for audio CD books for Shuchosha Publishing, Japan, and numerous portrait works.
