Focusing on the image of a crying human head, Paul Freud’s series of works showing at Andrew Mummery provide something a little poignant and impassioned. The images are representations of a silent 'cry' given by Pope John-Paul II during the final days of his life, when he found himself unable to speak whilst addressing his congregation. It’s a heart wrenching moment that few will forget. Meanwhile, Freud presents these images in various mediums, endeavoring to find clarity within the individual self-expression of both the artist and subject. Paul Freud is on show at the Andrew Mummery Gallery, Studio 1.04, The Tea Building, 56 Shoreditch High Street, E1 from 26th April - 26th May.

I experienced that show at the Tea Building and,once you found it, was about.. Just what Art should be about. Moving in its direct expression and honest endevour exposing a futile methodology that somehow uncovered the paradox within, what can only be a very personal,yet was a very public event. Paul Freud's interpretation was affecting in its originality, and prepared me for the death of my Grandmother years later.
