Paul Wallington is a Johannesburg-born painter whose practice investigates how narratives are constructed to frame history, technology, and contemporary experience. His work reflects a moment in which collective meaning fractures and simplified stories often replace complex realities. Through figurative painting, he positions the medium as a deliberate counterpoint to the seamless credibility of digital imagery, emphasizing its inherent subjectivity and its capacity to reveal, rather than conceal, its own fiction. Wallington’s scenes hold a quiet psychological tension, suggesting both insight and uncertainty, and they draw attention to the gap between what we are shown and what we choose to believe. His practice invites viewers to reconsider the narratives that shape their understanding of the world and to engage with painting as a space where interpretation remains open, critical, and alive.
