2024 Gottlieb Foundation Individual Support Grant Recipient Spotlight: Paul F. Yount

“Extinction Of the Individual ism”, 2021 , Oil on canvas, 60 x 80 inches
Paul F. Yount has been painting large-scale figurative oil paintings for 45 years. He completed a BFA at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville and graduate studies at The Museum School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. In 2020, he was awarded an Individual Support Grant from The Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation and previously the Ewing Scholarship from The University of Tennessee. He has exhibited widely throughout the United States. “I am a queer artist who has experienced a vast array of ideas, thoughts, and memories in my many decades on this planet and my 45 years of painting about my life and the life around me. I see myself as an explorer of time and space traveling in a Time Machine. This Time Machine allows me to live in a universe within a universe. I can pull myself away from the ebb and flow of life’s ordinary routine and I display the sparkle, the glamour, the beauty, the ugly sincerity of humanity. Presently, I am creating paintings that are highly developed with a philosophy of time revealing that past, present, and future exist in one state of time. The paintings are a series of triptychs with myself and my husband depicting the beginnings of time and through the rise and fall of humanity to another existence far from our present ideologies.”
