Celia Paul @ Victoria Miro Mayfair Gallery

New and recent works by Celia Paul draw on the artist’s delicate and moving explorations of intimacy with people and landscape. Paul’s art stems from a deep connection with subject matter. Her portrayals of people exclusively feature close friends and family members – including her four sisters. Works on display in Desdemona for Hilton include a new body of seascape paintings, which the artist has spoken of in terms of feeling ‘in flux’, as well as a seascape triptych whose approaching and retreating waves represent the past, present and future. The exhibition coincides with the launch of Desdemona for Celia by Hilton, conceived by Paul and the acclaimed writer and critic Hilton Als.
