Paul Butler: The Medium and The Message
essay by Alex Coles, 2005
"Paul Butler's paintings perpetually shift between emotional registers. The most noticeable is between the paintings playing out quotidian scenes with a satiric sense of humour and those which comment scathingly on recent world events. But the diversity in the work is always contained by a unity attained through Butler's sense of touch..."
Neo-Cons & Dogs
essay by Tana Wollen 2005
"If uncertainty and ambiguity thread through Paul Butler's latest group of paintings, the power to destroy, control or menace is its most uneuivocal subject. In blacks, whites and greys (newsprint tones) swirling figures are weighted with the symbolism of caricature and the threat that anonymity can portend."
