Paul Smith Painting
Paul Smith Painting – kindly donated by the artist, Paul Smith, a former
AWCZ Gallery at the Club exhibitor
“Rüschlikon” / oil on board / framed / 27 x 27 cm

Paul Smith studied Fine Art in Leeds, UK. In addition to solo exhibitions in Zurich
and Japan, Smith has participated in group exhibitions at galleries including the
National Portrait Gallery in London, the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in
Edinburgh, the Royal Academy of Arts in London and the Royal Birmingham Society
of Artists. His paintings are primarily inspired by local experiences, but also from
travels abroad. Smith says about this artwork, “I painted this picture of the view from
my studio room in Rüschlikon where I was living at the time. I had recently come from
Japan & was adjusting to the clarity of colour & light in Switzerland. Small
observational oil sketches are a good way to quickly sense the atmosphere of a place &
nurture ideas for larger artworks.”
