Paul Tonkin studied at Canterbury College of Art, and moved to London in 1973 where he has since lived and worked. He was amongst the first group of painters to show alongside sculptors in the Stockwell Depot shows in the Seventies.
In 1994 Tonkin became a founder and director of the Art in Perpetuity Trust, moving to APT studios, Deptford.
Paul has been called “the Jimi Hendrix of colour abstraction”, by critic Corinna Lotz.
