Celia Paul: Innervisions marks Paul's first exhibition with Gladstone, presenting new paintings made from her long-held London studio overlooking the British Museum. Paul paints herself, her mother, and sisters not as motifs but as relationships shaped by grief and the ordinary weather of family life — figures that emerge from quiet fields with unshowy gravity, holding people in time rather than describing them. Alongside portraits, the sea recurs as counterpoint: an expanse that refuses enclosure. Throughout, Paul steadily reclaims authorship on her own terms.
