PAUL FURNEAUX RSA | SELECTED WORKS 28 MARCH - 27 JUNE 2026

Furneaux creates abstract works using the traditional Japanese woodblock printing technique of Mokuhanga. This inherently beautiful and simple process has allowed his practice to develop in a contemplative and semi-abstract direction. Working with water-based pigments, hand-carved blocks, and a disciplined layering method, he embraces both precision and subtle unpredictability within the medium.
 
His interest in landscape and his concern for the environment are ongoing yet understated themes. A central dynamic in his practice lies in balancing the limitless possibilities of his materials with an intuitive approach to abstraction. He combines the controlled cutting typical of many Japanese printmakers with a more expressive visual language, often associated with Western woodcut traditions. The result is work that is at once restrained and gestural, meditative yet immediate.
