Artist Resume  

Plumadore has created collages since1975. His work has been chosen for book jackets and record covers. In his 20’s he was on the faculty of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts Dance Department where he received a BFA. He performed with the Paul Taylor Dance Company, headed up the dance department at Sweet Briar College and formed his own company and his own choreography. He later started Center44, an antiques mecca in New York City., with his partner.They now live in a house they designed on the Delaware River in Milanville, Pa.

Over decades the artist has created a myriad of collage series that reveal his wit and sense of irony. His work is fueled by his love of movement and dance and a fascination with bygone eras. Paul says: “For over 30 years, I’ve been repurposing ephemera to create images that play with scale and content, disregard norms, and manifest the inner life of characters. If your mind is plunged into unknown territory and your imagination sparked with shock and humor, I feel I have succeeded.”

After exhibiting at the Alliance Gallery in Narrowsburg, NY, Paul was chosen to be in the 2015 Northeastern Biennial at Hope Horn Gallery at the University of Scranton where he was awarded a solo show at Scranton’s AFA Gallery. He has been included in The Art of the State show for the last three years held at The State Museum of PA in Harrisburg, and has shown at Ceres Gallery in NYC’s Chelsea art district.
