Growing up in London gave Tobatron a keen eye for the peculiarities of modern life.

Paul Cox's approach over the years has changed in that he has become braver about reorganizing his subjects, architecture, and perspective in his topographical work to make the images more dynamic. However, the subjects of interest and his attitude hasn’t changed. Why watercolor? Paul doesn’t work with a traditional watercolor technique; he works quite loosely, allowing the brush work to define the drawing, leaving wet areas to introduce and mix new colors and tonal values. Due to the speed he generally works at, the medium can convey a gestural response to a life situation and, at its best, can look fresh and luminous.
