Jane’s work frequently finds inspiration from the rich source of her own family background, referencing both the remarkable collection of antiquities and sculptural objects collected by her grandfather and the cultural legacy of Freudian psychoanalysis which has had such a profound and lasting effect on contemporary psyche.

Further new, previously unseen works include a bust that comprises the faces of both Jane McAdam Freud and her father Lucian Freud. Now unable to sketch him from life, McAdam Freud will create an amalgamation of both artists’ faces, using herself as the model to emphasise their genetic similarities as well as their emotional and professional connections. The highlight of the exhibition will be the completed large-scale reliefs of the artist’s late father. Inspired by sketches McAdam Freud made of her father as he lay on his deathbed, the installation is a memorial to his life and artistic legacy. The completed works comprise the original EarthStone Triptych together with Vassal, the shadow form (a new work). Divided equally into two separate parts, like a portmanteau, EarthStone Triptych is joined by a snake-like rim that brings the two halves together. The centre is left hollow, an inverse interior that alludes to the wild imagination of Freud and his many admirers as well as our own thoughts and projections.
