Paul catherall biography

Based in London, but raised in Coventry, Paul retains a huge love for the concrete icons of Brutalism and Modernism that framed his childhood.

The subjects of his prints have included celebrated landmarks such as Battersea Power Station, Tate Modern and St Paul’s Cathedral, as well as controversial buildings including the Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre, the National Theatre and Telecom Tower.

Drawing on the best traditions of classic midcentury poster design Paul utilises his expert eye for composition and colour to inject his prints with fresh energy, dragging old icons kicking and screaming into the 21st century and imbuing new buildings with a nostalgic edge.

We were thrilled to catch up with Paul and find out more about his life and work, and talk all things Brutalism!
