Steven Porwol

Steven Porwol is an exceptionally talented watercolour artist who has established a reputation as one of the worlds foremost bird painters. Born in 1973 his paintings have been the subject of wide acclaim and he has successfully exhibited in galleries and numerous museums both in England and America. His new works, many of which are in excess of two to three metres in size, are eagerly awaited by collectors and the public alike and with an ever widening audience appreciative of his unique style his international standing continues to grow. He launched his first striking collection at London’s Park Walk Gallery in 2001. The show was a huge success and lead to two further one-man shows and now Steven works exclusively to commission with a considerable waiting list. An in-depth interview with Steven was featured in the August 2007 issue of ‘The Field’ magazine.

His style is unique in contemporary wildlife painting but owes much to the great Audubon who also worked solely from life through pinned and measured specimens. Steven seeks to capture the essence of the bird, often in flight or when hunting or being hunted, and portrays the birds against neutral backgrounds, thereby accentuating the drama and vivacity of his subjects.

Steven’s dramatic paintings will appeal to those who like to deviate from tradition and gain pleasure from seeing familiar birds in an unexpected and original light. His originals sell from £20,000 to in excess of £100,000
