About the Item
Unique.
Paul Snell is an Australian artist who blurs the boundaries between photography and painting, creating contemplative works that replace constant image saturation with moments of stillness and quiet reflection. His distinctive process begins by capturing locations or objects, then digitally "decoding" and "re-coding" the visual information, reducing and simplifying colours and forms before evolving them into new self-referential compositions. This methodology blurs the boundary between "taking" and "making" a photograph.
Inspired by 20th-century modernist artists, Snell distills form and colour to their essence, creating works with a distinctly painterly impact that critics describe as "digital painting." He converts his digital compositions into luminous Chromogenic prints using the Fujiflex system on metallic paper, mounted onto Plexiglass. Each work is produced in small editions of one to three, emphasizing their unique character.
His works are not representations of reality—they are their own realities, offering grounding experiences where beauty is found in presence rather than progress. He lives and works in Launceston, Tasmania.

Paul Snell
Paul Snell combines traditional and digital techniques to explore the possibilities of abstraction and minimalism in contemporary photo-media. Snell earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Tasmania in 1989, his BFA (Honors) from the University of Tasmania in 1995, and his Masters of Contemporary Arts from the University of Tasmania in 2011. Snell has exhibited his work extensively throughout Australia and Tasmania, and selectively in the United States.
His work is included in numerous public and private collections, including that of ArtBank, the Devonport Regional Gallery, the Burnie Regional Gallery, and the Justin House Museum. Snell creates small production runs, printing each unique work in an edition of one to three. His process begins by capturing a location or an object on film with a traditional camera. He then digitally “decodes” the visual information present in that image. After reducing and simplifying the colors and forms, he begins an intensive “re-coding” process, during which the reduced formal elements of the work evolve their own self-referential relationships within a new composition. This process blurs the boundary between “taking” and “making” a photograph. When the digital composition is complete, Snell converts it into a Chromogenic print using the Lambda printing system, which allows luminous, vibrant, colorful photographic printing onto metallic paper. The print is then mounted onto Plexiglass.
