Paul Laugier was born and brought up in England but still has strong contacts with his father's family in Aix-en-Provence. His grandfather attended the same school as the painter Paul Cezanne and at least one of Cezanne's views of Mont Ste Victoire was painted from the Laugier family farm.

Paul trained as an Architect but after University he went to work in the BBC design department and has continued to work in the film and television industry ever since. He is now a freelance Production Designer and designs sets for film and television drama.

When he is not working Paul draws and paints, usually watercolours of architectural subjects and flowers. Much of his work is published in the form of greetings cards and he only occasionally sells originals. The pictures in this exhibition are the only new paintings which he has offered for sale this year.
