Artist Statement

Born just outside of Liverpool in 1975 , UK.  I specialise in Fusion, the fusion or organic and in-organic material. Creatures of bark and bone, metal and alloy. Fusion of fluxuating form and spirit, states of reality. Paintings and sculptures, mixed media and digital. This transcends to both personal paintings and concept art for Hollywood movies.

Work recently wrapped up on the movie BATTLE LA by Sony Films.  A big budget alien war film due to hit the screen Feb 2011 , described as Black Hawk Down meet Independents day. I create concept art for the main alien creatures ,crafts , weapons, from the initial pitch art to full pre and post production illustrations. Work continues on numerous other feature films.

 

"if you can imagine taking the nighmares of Giger and the dystopian scope of Beksinski one step further , then you can imagine the work of Paul Gerrard"

  Jonathan Liebesman : Film Director

 

"when my eye stops, I stop, for minute, then for an hour...let me introduce to you Paul Gerrard's world...the smoke of the heavy bikes, that carnal vampire. Weapons of the guardians.. we've got the same ingredients inside but we dont have the same recipe, and I like his recipe, the sense's recipe"
