Celia Paul's Ethereal Paintings Evoke Loss and Solitude
Celia Paul's recent paintings, including 'Two Trees After the Storm' and 'My Mother, Myself and I' (both 2025), explore themes of loss, solitude, and identity. Her work is characterized by a mystical aura, with figures that feel more like music than flesh. Paul's style is distinct, drawing comparisons to the poetry of Emily Dickinson or Vikram Seth's novel 'An Unequal Music'. The paintings are exhibited at Gladstone and Victoria Miro galleries.
