The Mill is a character-led series of 8 figurative prints that brings the world of industrial change vividly to life through humour, conversation and social observation. Each work captures a different exchange between workers, investors or townspeople, using expressive poses, simplified forms and distinctive colour to suggest the energy, tension and personality of mill life.
Across the series, Paul Warren explores themes of innovation, labour, trade, housing, textile knowledge and everyday community life. The quoted titles and captions give each print a dramatic, often witty voice, while the minimal backgrounds keep the focus firmly on gesture, interaction and narrative. Together, the 8 prints form a lively and theatrical portrait of a changing society, balancing local character and historical reference with a fresh contemporary style.
The eight Gclee prints are all of similar dimensions: Landscape view, H 400mm x W 500mm and the Portrait view, H 500mm x W 400mm.
The prints are for sale as seen and priced at £70 each – framed, glazed, mounted print (black frame, 20mm width x15mm depth) all with ‘neutral’ mount.
