Overview
Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Paul Cadden studied Animation and Illustration at James Watt College in Birmingham.
Throughout his artistic career Cadden has always worked in a realist style but it was around ten years ago that he truly developed his Hyperrealistic approach.
Paul Cadden is renowned today for his incredibly intricate and highly accurate pencil drawings of urban landscapes featuring people. His artistic practice approaches portraiture in a holistic, ‘social’ fashion, capturing not just individuals but the culture and feel of their place and time. He maintains that for him hyperrealism is about more than representing reality in a new medium. It is, instead, about creating the illusion of a new reality - one that merges a believable, life-like appearance with emotional, social, cultural, and political themes.

Surrounded by images, signage, advertisements and mass-media in general, it has been said that the world in which we live, shapes and transforms our experience to the point that “reality” is recognised only when it is re-produced. The fine line between reality and our media- saturated culture is increasingly blurred.
