Celia Paul: Colony of Ghosts

14 Mar-17 Apr 2025

Overview

Victoria Miro is delighted to present new paintings by Celia Paul. The artist’s eighth solo exhibition with the gallery, Colony of Ghosts coincides with the launch of a major new monograph, published by MACK in March 2025, spanning some fifty years of painting by the artist. 

Celia Paul has always mined complexities of interior and exterior life, looping back and forth through time to the people and places closest to her. It is this highly personal consideration of time, and painting’s unique relationship to it, that underpins her latest body of work. Figures from the artist’s past appear, while the exhibition also features several new self-portraits alongside other cornerstones of Paul’s art – seascapes, paintings of her Bloomsbury studio and family members including a new painting of her four sisters.
