Paul Moses’ pictures are a precise entanglement of opposite elements intending to produce a confusion in the sensory perception of the viewer. They result from the intricate combination of painting, photography and ultimately drawing in such way it becomes impossible, at first glance, to comprehend which of these three technics have been used. It is about paying attention to unravel the true nature of the work, to break through the veil of illusion and/or prejudices (which often goes hand in hand) about it.

Once understood that it is a drawing, opposition fall into places: what seemed to be an infinitely reproductible photograph becomes a unique drawing, what looks like a swiftly executed symbol becomes a pencil reproduction in which time suddenly dilates, what seems to be a volume of wet and shiny paint melts into a surface of flat, dry and matt graphite. In these pictures, abstract becomes hyperrealist, movement becomes stillness, spontaneity becomes anticipation, reality becomes illusion.
