March news

All a little quiet here with no immediate exhibitions in sight. There's a solo show lined up for later in the year, perhaps September, but all will be revealed in due course. In the meantime I've been pressing on with a new body of work - essentially rolling on from the cancelled exhibition in December. In addition I've been trying to push my collages to form a more solid direction. Some results below.

New Work

I've been busy updating the website with the addition of 5 new paintings and 7 new collages. I'll be adding even more soon - essentially all the new work that was being made for the now cancelled show.
Taster below.

Yellow Spring

The Crossing

The Happening

Exhibition Cancelled

Unfortunately my solo show with Duckett & Jeffrey has been cancelled.

However I have a lovely body of new work that I'm just finishing off. Around ten new paintings and a dozen collages should start appearing on my main site soon. Hopefully I'll be able to find an outlet to exhibit this work in the new year.

Zeitgeist Open catalogue

You may have been directed here by the link from the Zeitgeist Arts Projects Open 2013 catalogue. It should have read my main website address rather than this. So if you'd like to have a look at my portfolio rather than my occasional news updates please visit www.paulsmithart.co.uk.

The exhibition runs until this Saturday 5th October. It's really worth a visit, some top work on show. Also the added bonus of  open studios events in the same building.

Thanks for viewing.
