Major works include:[1][2]
In 2008 a high-relief frieze was added to the base of the Meeting Place sculpture as part of refurbishments at St Pancras, featuring images from the history of the Tube and train: people queuing on platforms or travelling in carriages; soldiers departing for war and returning injured, and repair works following the 7 July 2005 London bombings. The work was the object of controversy when first erected, as one panel depicted a commuter falling into the path of a train driven by the Grim Reaper. However, following discussions with London and Continental Railways (LCR), this panel was replaced with another.[4][5] Day studied at art schools in the UK at Colchester and Dartington, and completed his training at Cheltenham in 1991. He now lives in a village near Dijon, France, with his French wife, Catherine. Their Anglo-French relationship is an explicit and repeated theme in his works. The Meeting Place, which is modelled on an embrace between Paul and Catherine, stands as a metaphor for St Pancras's role as the terminus of the rail link between England and France.[1][6] Another contemporary sculptor and critic, Antony Gormley, singled out The Meeting Place when he condemned the current public art works across the UK, stating: "there is an awful lot of crap out there".[7] Day admitted that "Some will say it is a chocolate box sculpture."[2]In December 2017, Day received criticism for accepting a commission to create a sculpture in Moscow of the late Uzbek leader Islam Karimov, "widely regarded as one of the most ruthless dictators in recent history", and responded, "I go with the flow".[8] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web | url = http://www.bbm.org.uk/sculptor.htm | title = Battle of Britain London Monument | publisher = Battle of Britain Archive | accessdate = 2007-01-09 | deadurl = yes | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20070109212652/http://www.bbm.org.uk/sculptor.htm | archivedate = 2007-01-09 | df = }} 2. ^1 {{cite news | url = https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/art-that-embraces-a-new-future-for-st-pancras-436300.html| title = Art that embraces a new future for St Pancras | work = The Independent | date=February 14, 2007| accessdate =April 20, 2017| location=London | first=Cahal | last=Milmo}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39202897|title=Iraq and Afghanistan wars memorial unveiled|date=9 March 2017|work=BBC Online|accessdate=9 March 2017}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2008/oct/12/art-transport|title=St Pancras Station Refuses to Display Train Death Sculpture|author=Rachel Stevenson|work=The Guardian|date=12 October 2008| location=London}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/news/st-pancras-frieze-toned-down-959411.html|title=St Pancras frieze Toned Down|author=Paula Fentiman|work=The Guardian|date=13 October 2008| location=London}} 6. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.sculpture.net/community/showthread.php?t=5235 | title = Sculptor Paul Day's Commission | publisher = sculpture.net | date= 2007-02-14 | accessdate = 2008-01-09}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/news/modern-public-artworks-are-crap-says-gormley-this-is-how-it-should-be-done-791922.html|title=Modern Public Artworks Are "Crap", Says Gormley |author=Arifa Akbar|work=The Independent|date=6 March 2008}} 8. ^{{cite news |last1=Walker |first1=Shaun |title=Briton criticised over sculpture of 'terrible' Uzbek dictator Karimov |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/dec/20/uzbekistan-islam-karimov-to-be-memorialised-by-british-sculptor-paul-day |accessdate=19 October 2018 |work=The Guardian |date=20 December 2017}} External links
