PAUL MARGOCSY

About the artist

Paul has been engrossed in wildlife art since 1978. After much research into ornithology and through self-taught efforts and experiments he started to get the hang of it. A few years later he became a member of “The Wildlife Art Society of Australasia” and the very next year won first prize for the best painting. Since that eventful exhibition many things began to formulate – Paul was included in a book launch in 1990 featuring 70 of the best living traditional artists in Australia. He also had a book published on his paintings. Australia Post commissioned him in 1991 to do a water bird series of stamps and he was subsequently commissioned by the United Nations to paint a series of endangered species in 1994, which was released in Vienna. Paul has had solo exhibitions in London and Japan, six solo shows in America and two at the exclusive “Raffles” Hotel in Singapore, making his international career blossom. He recently had a solo show in Hong Kong. To be chosen to exhibit at the prestigious “Leigh Yawkey Woodson Birds In Art Show” in America (80 selected from over 3500 entries) was a “feather in his cap”. Paul was chosen two years running. Paul was honoured with a fellow membership to “The Wildlife Art Society of Australasia” for services to the society and wildlife art.
