2007 JUNE - CAMBRIDGE CONTEMPORARY ART
" TELLING TALES" 2 person show with painter Nicola Slattery

"At a time when so much contemporary art is meaningless, self absorbed, visually dull, it is a joy to see the work of Paul Smith and Nicola Slattery. They celebrate a largeness of spirit, an innocence and a delight in the infinite possibilities of being human.  This is magical art, pure, humorous and strong.”

"Paul Smith's art is firmly rooted in the figurative tradition but at the same time goes well beyond representation"

"I particularly liked Feathered Friends by Paul Smith. It manages to be both sensual and funny"

Full review of Buxton Solo Show

"Few recent solo exhibitors have so completely established a presence at this venue as Paul Smith. It would be difficult to remain indifferent to this show. The most singular distinguishing characteristic is the sculptor's advanced plastic vocabulary"
