Paul Screach is a visual artist whose work delves into the unseen layers of existence – those forces and processes too vast, minute, rapid, or gradual for us to perceive directly.

Drawing inspiration from the cosmos and the microscopic alike, Paul’s paintings offer meditations on the paradoxes of scale, time, and perception. From the invisible drift of continents to the cellular mechanics of life, Paul’s practice engages with both scientific theory and natural phenomena, bridging observation and imagination.

Since 2012, Screach has worked out of Railway Street Gallery + Studios in Newmarket, Auckland. His artistic development began under the mentorship of Matthew Brown at Art Station in Ponsonby, where he spent four years refining his approach. Over time, his practice has evolved into a compelling exploration of the relationship between materiality and concept – where paint serves not only as medium but also as subject, susceptible to the same slow transformations and elemental forces his works seek to evoke.

By painting things we cannot see – atoms, evolutionary processes, cosmic velocity – Paul invites viewers to contemplate the improbable systems that shape life and environment. His works embody a thoughtful tension between scientific curiosity and artistic expression, grounding complex ideas in richly textured, physical surfaces.
