7. The Meeting Place by Paul Day St Pancras Station London
People actually like this sentimental rubbish!!!! This mega-stinker titled ‘The Meeting Place’ by Paul Day is two stories high and sweet enough to rot teeth!!! It is located at St Pancras Station London.
Paul Day has spent over twenty years developing a highly personal approach to figurative sculpture with a particular interest in representing the figure in architectural space using high-relief, an art form that combines drawn composition and fully rounded sculpture. Upon finishing his education in England, Day began working professionally at once, aided by a grant from the Prince of Wales Business Youth Trust . Over the years he has developed a form of art singularly difficult to categorise in terms of contemporary artistic idioms. His high relief sculptures in terracotta, resin and bronze have been exhibited widely in Europe and are appreciated not least for their peculiarly personal approach to perspective. His exhibitions attract considerable interest from both the public and media alike. This appeal of an artist who is unquestionably of his time but whose world links up with a longstanding tradition is rare. Day has the themes of Urbanity and the City at the heart of his artistic practice and, in order to represent them, has elaborated a perspective of subjectivity.
