Celia Paul (Tiruvanantapura, 11 de novembro de 1959 - ) é uma pintora britânica nascida na Índia. Paul é conhecida principalmente por seu trabalho impressionista, que ela desenvolveu durante sua educação na Slade School of Fine Art. Paul vive e trabalha em Londres, Inglaterra.

Biografia

Celia Paul nasceu em Thiruvananthapuram (anteriormente chamada de Trivandrum), sul da Índia.

De 1976 a 1981, ela estudou na Slade School of Fine Art em Londres, onde conheceu Lucian Freud, que era um tutor visitante e com quem ela teria um relacionamento.

Paul foi representada pela Bernard Jacobson Gallery, Londres, de 1984 a 1986, e depois pela Marlborough Fine Art, Londres, de 1989 a 2014. Ela foi representada pela Victoria Miro, Londres, desde maio de 2014.

Uma exposição individual de novos trabalhos da artista intitulada Celia Paul: Memory and Desire ocorreu no Victoria Miro em Londres, de 6 de abril a 14 de maio de 2022. A exposição coincidiu com a publicação de Letters to Gwen John, um novo livro da artista publicado por Jonathan Cape e New York Review Books que se concentra em uma série de cartas endereçadas à pintora Gwen John (1876–1939), que há muito tempo é um espírito tutelar de Paul.

Paul escreveu sua autobiografia Self-Portrait, que foi lançada em 2019 e bem recebida pela crítica em importantes jornais, incluindo The Guardian, The New York Times e The New York Review of Books.
