Career
Paul Freud's collection The Edge of Abstraction is on display at Alinea London's office and gallery at The Royal Exchange, City of London.
The Edge of Abstraction contains Paul’s most oceanic body of work, all created during the past 20 years, featuring inspirational and expressive drawings in black colourfast and lightfast Indian ink, and oil on canvas. Paul's previous work has referred to a latent spirituality and a vivid observational capacity; this series of seven contemporary studies; Reverie, H2O, Cosmic Identification, The Journey, Ocean Feeling, Lignum Vitae and Inner Workings of a Sunshine Mind inspire a peaceful sense of tranquillity. Paul Freud's private view on 19 October 2019, was sponsored by Fortnum and Mason, and featured in Country and Town House Magazine, and The Times Diary.
The term [oceanic feeling] was first coined by French novelist and playwright Romaine Rolland, in a letter to Sigmund Freud, in reference to a sense of eternity.
