Paul Meikle (b. 1993, Edinburgh) is a mixed media artist based in Edinburgh. His work focuses on often-overlooked urban landscape objects and their decay, both intentional and unintentional, exploring the processes that shape their appearance. He sees their imperfections as part of a story, each scrape or layer of flaking paint feeling like skimming through a page in a book, revealing fragments of what came before. 

Translating the degradation of these objects, he employs experimental methods, using corrosives, abrasives and complex layering to achieve their textures. He aims to recreate the techniques that caused them to exist, rather than meticulously copy their subject matter. The resulting mixed media artworks capture these transitional processes, each painting is layer upon layer of paint, collage or other materials, with only a glimpse of each visible to the viewer. 

The city space not only inspires his work but also provides the materials he works with, scrap metal and wooden boards become canvases, while torn-down posters become integral components of his compositions.
