Paul Hearn was born in ashford, kent in 1968. except for a brief spell at maidstone college of art in 1987, he is self-taught.
since 2005 Paul has worked as LustrousChemistry on many diverse projects and continues to create artwork that contains a warm emotional intellect. taking inspiration as much from literature, history and science as he does from shopping malls, corporate architecture and the latest technology he is inspired to continue with his autodidactic trajectory.
although unable to play an instrument himself he has worked closely with a number of musicians on a variety of eclectic projects. Paul has a long standing love affair with pop music preferring vocalists who cannot sing and make up for their lacking vocal talent with alternating bravado and grace.
Paul is also a core team member of 2nd Birthday, who strive to increase the impact of contemporary art in and around bournemouth by placing unusual art in unusual places.
Paul is emotionally affected by graphic design and spends as much time as professionally viable in cinemas.
