Paul F. Yount is an oil figurative painter who has experienced a vast array of ideas, thoughts and memories in his existence on this planet. He views himself as an explorer of  time and a space traveling in a Time Machine. This Time Machine allows him to live in a universe within a universe. He can pull himself away from the ebb and flow of life’s ordinary routine and display the sparkle, the glamour, the beauty, the ugly sincerity of humanity.

In creating a painting, his inspiration from all resources around him fuels his voracious imagination to create a beautiful monster. Each painting has a new way to see the human drama unfold in a colorful, elegantly composed exquisite manner. 

Yount is a blender of sexuality, gender, race, age, religion, science, history, and all culture throughout time.

​Yount depicts how humanity has used, deceived, manipulated one another to achieve great progress, but the results are not always beneficial to the quality and longevity of all.

Being intrigued with the sameness of humanity of how most people think, act, talk and operate in the same manner in the current cultural trends. The loss of individualism, the loss of conversation, the loss of each human acting in a distinct unique manner is no longer seen and tolerated. The erosion of self is a concept integrated with eternalism.

​Yount sees the past, lives in the present, holds a mirror up to himself and to the world to create a new futuristic world that is unexplained on the surface. The experience of the puzzle is what enriches each viewer to unravel.

Yount paintings do not offer a clear explanation or an understanding, they present more questions that are based on experiences of the mystery of being.
