North Devon Arts - an evening with Paul Broomfield

A massive thank you to North Devon Arts and Broomhill Art Hotel for inviting me along as their guest speaker last night, to talk about my work as a taxidermy & assemblage artist and painter.

It was the first time I've done anything like this, and I couldn't have done it without my good friend and former ITV News reporter Pete Robinson who interviewed and guided me with a calm, reassuring style.

I think more than 50 people came along, and we started about 8pm and went on for more than 2 hours with questions from the floor after the main interview and showing my film - then chatting to some really interesting folk before we all headed off into the fog-bound North Devon countryside. If you'd like to see my short film again you can watch it on YouTube here.

A selection of my work is currently on display at Broomhill should you want to take more time to look at it. Thanks again for having me, your support really is appreciated and it's an experience I'm glad to have got under my belt!

Talk talk - an evening with taxidermy artist Paul Broomfield

In a first for me, I will be giving a talk at Broomhill Art Hotel on the evening of Wednesday May 11th 2016 for the North Devon Arts group. I will be interviewed in-front of the audience by my friend & award-winning journalist Pete Robinson, about my work as a contemporary taxidermy artist.

A selection of my a assemblage boxes and original semi-abstract paintings are currently on display at Broomhill, plus it is also hosting the prestigious 2016 National Sculpture Prize.

North Devon Arts are running an open studio event in the area in September - you can find more information about entering (closing date May 1) and what's on & where through their website here.

Broomhill exhibition for artist Paul Broomfield

The acclaimed Broomhill Art Hotel, just outside Barnstaple in North Devon, now has 14 of my pieces on display as part of its rolling exhibition featuring a variety of artists' work.

It includes several of my new and unique taxidermy and assemblage boxes, and for the first time a group of my paintings from the series entitled 'Looking west from Croyde'.

I'm really honoured to have so much of my art in one place. Most of the pieces are in the main gallery, while you'll need to meander through the dining areas to see the others.

If you haven't checked it out yet, or perhaps not been for a while, Broomhill is home to the National Sculpture Prize, the stunning sculpture gardens and the award-winning restaurant Terra Madre. 

In another first for me, I will be giving a talk at Broomhill on the evening of Wednesday May 11th 2016 for the North Devon Arts group. I will be interviewed in-front of the audience by my friend & award-winning journalist Pete Robinson, about my work and my life. Exciting times!
