Born in Dublin in 1963. Having studied at NCAD, Flynn moved to the US for seventeen years, where he worked as a recruiter. Since his return to Ireland in 2003, Flynn has re-ignited his passion for craft, and now works full time as an artist.

Paul Christopher considers himself to be an instinctive rather than a cerebral artist. Primarily a landscape painter, his work is not so much concerned with the physicality of the land, but rather he wishes to conjure up the hidden histories and the secret stories belonging to it.

Initially working in a representational, impressionist style, his current work is an attempt to convey landscape in a way that reduces it to an essence of form and tone, leaving the viewer a visual and emotional space in which to roam.

This artist's work deals with themes concerning the fragility and transition of identity, the question what relevance "place" has upon our sense of self. The use of impasted calligraphic lines, and minimalist colour, evoke the earliest art, the cave paintings in Lascaux , standing stones and mounds.

Flynn has exhibited throughout Ireland and in the USA , and his work appears in both private and corporate collections, including Microsoft, Chevrolet and Jacobs.
