Jane McAdam Freud: An Absent Presence: A RETROSPECTIVE IN DIALOGUE WITH LOUISE BOURGEOIS AND HOLLY STEVENSON

An Absent Presence at Gazelli Art House is the first exhibition of Jane McAdam Freud’s work since her passing in 2022, bringing together deeply personal sculptures that explore life, death, and legacy, alongside works by Holly Stevenson and Louise Bourgeois. The show reflects on psychoanalysis, memory, and emotional inheritance through materials ranging from medals and chicken wire to ceramics and wool, with Stevenson responding directly to Jane’s legacy and their shared Freudian lineage. Across three generations of artists, the exhibition meditates on how objects can hold psychological weight and serve as vessels for presence, absence, and transformation.
