Paul Paiement (b. 1966 Minneapolis, MN) is an American artist based in Long Beach, CA whose paintings and sculptures focus on the impact of mankind and the built environment on the natural world. His detailed, painterly landscapes are overlaid with angular, airbrushed Plexiglass shapes, indicating the disruption of man on nature. His series of "Hybrids" transforms everyday electronic gadgets to resemble various insect forms, classically rendering the insects in egg tempera. Electronic overlays depicted by a series of dots created with wooden dowels, referencing to the halftone screens of vintage ads and the digital pixels of modern photography.
