The Lost Children of Paradise Bletchingley 1 st of March
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Paul Chisholm's "The Lost Children of Paradise" Exhibition at Bletchingley Community Centre
Bletchingley, Surrey—On March 1, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, the Bletchingley Community Centre will host a one-day solo exhibition by contemporary British artist Paul Chisholm. Titled "The Lost Children of Paradise," the exhibition features Chisholm's latest series of paintings depicting clowns, reflecting both the artist's emotional states and serving as a mirror to society and its ills.
Chisholm's artistic practice revolves around conceptual explorations of identity, gender, and politics, incorporating various media including painting, photography, installation, and objects. His works possess a strong communicative quality, bearing messages garnished with both humour and pain. The confluence of bright colours and bold puns unveils the double entendre behind every visual.
Born in Canterbury in 1983 and raised in Royal Leamington Spa, Chisholm studied Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University (2004) and completed his MA at Chelsea College of Arts in London (2020). His work often deals with his diagnosis as an openly HIV-positive person and reflects upon his own identity as a contemporary British queer artist.
"The Lost Children of Paradise" series delves into the paradoxical nature of the clown figure, which masks true sadness with makeup and flamboyance. Chisholm uses this imagery to comment on societal contradictions, exploring themes of isolation, resilience, and the human condition.
This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to engage with Chisholm's thought-provoking work, which subtly criticizes social and political circumstances through layers of personal history and emotional depth.

Interview with Metafora Arts Barcelona
LIFE AFTER METÀFORA
Interview with Paul Chisholm
Paul was a student at Metàfora during the Academic Year 2010-2011. It has been a pleasure see his work develop since. Soon, he will be opening a solo show at The Art Fund Prize Gallery, The Lightbox Museum, Woking, Surrey, England.
We asked about his experience on the Metàfora Studio Arts Program, his professionalising process, and of course, about the exhibition taking place between the 7th to 19th November.
What do you remember about your stay at Metàfora, and in Barcelona?
I remember it being the most magical of years. A chance to dedicate oneself fully to their practice, exploring new avenues, directions all under the umbrella of a critical discourse with like-minded artists from across the Globe many of whom are still best friends. Barcelona has a certain vibe and a buzz which reflected deeply in the work I created during that time.
In what ways has your experience at Metàfora helped you become the artist you are today?
At the time of applying to Metàfora I was considering a Masters in London. However I desperately wanted to get out of the rat race which is London and explore Europe. Metàfora really consolidated my practice to which it is today combining painting and conceptual sculpture. The course allowed time for experimentation, trying ideas out and ultimately I made several of my most iconic pieces whilst on the course. The course offered something which I don’t think many U.K colleges can offer…a truly international perspective, a highly conceptual approach and with a lot of 121 tuition and the chance to learn about Art therapy too!
How has your art developed since?
Since leaving Metàfora I lived a few years in Palma de Mallorca where I had an exhibition at Waka. Unfortunately in 2013 I moved back to London but eventually enrolled on an MA at Chelsea College of Arts in 2018. This really supercharged my practice in so many ways, connections, opportunities and a deep re-think of my practice. I now regularly dontate my work to the Terrence Higgins Trust annual Auction at Christies, London where my work has sold for double digits in aid of the charity. I have given talks on my practice in relation to Keith Haring at Tate Liverpool and all sorts of great great platforms which as a young artist at Metàfora I could only dream of. Never give up on your dreams keep creating, exhibiting and applying for things and even when no one else will give you an opportunity make one for your Art! I now live just outside of London in the countryside where I have a large studio subsided by the local council. This enables me to push boundaries in my practice, experiment and dream of sunny days in Barcelona! Art is a journey enjoy it!
(above) Mc Whimsical (below) Screw You, Virus Face
What is your upcoming exhibition about?
My exhibition is entitled The Lost Boys and mostly reflects upon the Aids & HIV epidemic both personal and political. The exhibition will include works made at Metàfora to the present day. This is my first solo Museum show. Which is so exciting! This body of work has been in my mind’s eye for many many years and will survey my practice surrounding these issues. In fact, as an alumni of Metàfora I was lucky enough to be invited back to do a talk on Arts Activism and the Aids Crisis in 2012. This gave me the chance to consolidate and present my research to a new cohort of Metàfora students… What a great opportunity Jette gave me! This area of research has fuelled my practice ever since…. These professional opportunities Metàfora gave me are the foundation for wanting to go on to do a PHD!
How did it happen? Can you expand on your professionalisation process?
My upcoming show is funded via a Developing your artistic practice grant by The Arts Council England plus grants from The Oppenhiem Johns Downes Trust and Visual Aids In New York. Applying for Arts grants is so important in being able to make the work you envision and see it exhibited and get things off the ground. Wherever you are based in the World there are Artist grants you can apply too which will with perseverance make your ideas a reality. Just remember rejection is a part of the process and never give up! It took me eight long years to get ‘Mc Whimsical’ a work I made and created at Metàfora off the ground in Barcelona and at the time it was a small scale installation eventually in 2019 I exhibited 101 creatures from the work in a Gallery in Hoxton U.K. Think big never give up… Dreams can, and do come true…

The title of this exhibition comes from J. M. Barrie’s 1904 play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up but refers in the context of this exhibition to the boys who simply couldn’t grow up because of the Aids/ HIV crisis. Although this exhibition refers to Boys throughout its context it is no way limited by gender as this affects us all.
‘A stitch in time saves nine’, meaning if you sort out a problem immediately it may save a lot of extra work later; if you’re lucky! The AIDS crisis and those affected are not so lucky and it took seven long years for any ‘Art’ (Anti-Retroviral Medication) to come in effect and it was another 9 years- 1996 until this medication slowly became effective and in ‘the everyday cushions’ these concerns are played out. These cushions are rough in nature but soft at hand and are a labour of love and frustration, each stitch is a direct sign of life; a life the artist thought he would not live after his diagnosis of HIV in 2007. With each word a contradictory or opposing word appears on the cushions scattered across the gallery floor alongside these are black pencils that lie with red tips alluding to both blood, the black death and an artist’s career that may have been cut short like so many others in the 80’s and 90’s. Each pencil is varnished with anti-viral glitter this coating both suggesting protection against viruses and a reminder of ever present danger. This steri-coat varnish is often used in hospital settings, without the glitter of course! However each glitter shard stands as another star burning bright and a reminder of those who we have loved and lost.
On the wall hang two poems created using Chat GPT, one which the artist asks to create a poem about the lost boys due to the Aids Crisis’ and another ‘the Lost Gay boys due to the Aids crisis’. With each the artist raises questions upon the fact that a Virus knows no boundaries gay or just a boy. It’s interesting to note the change in language used by the AI when instructing it to use a label such as ‘Gay’. Either way the work ends with making the Artist cry.
A soft sculpture entitled ‘My magical mental illness power’ is covered with 101 red ribbons and Nazar badges – the Turkish amulet which deflects the evil eye. The red Ribbon was created as a way of remembrance by a group of 12 Artists in 1991, from the New York Arts charity Visual Aids. (A charity which the artist often exhibits with and is awarded arts grants by) Coupling both of these symbols of hope, remembrance and protection within the context of mental health the artist questions the ongoing stigma associated with HIV and AIDS, whilst simultaneously creating a sculpture which empowers those affected both those lost to history and those struggling today.
In a self-portrait from 2017 the artist has placed a badge on the heart and it states ‘ Over 1 million people die of AIDS each year that’s the population of Amsterdam gone’ This statement came from a poster when the International Aids Conference was held in Amsterdam in 2018 (The Artist splits his time between the City and Surrey, England). Just imagine… ‘That’s an entire city in silence every year, year on year’… Aids is not over…
On the opposing wall a large print of Paul Chisholm’s iconic ‘I’m Tired’ poem stands which was read aloud at the Keith Haring Art and Activism conference at Tate Liverpool in 2019. This work juxtaposes the AI generated poem giving a more human take on our collective consciousness. Ultimately the work ends by saying ‘I’m Tired but never too tired to keep creating Art which someday somewhere may touch another’s soul …’ And I think this exhibition is a testament to that.

horatios garden art auction
Over 70 of the UK’s leading artists including Maggi Hambling, Sean Henry, Sophie Tea, Phoebe Dickinson, Sophie Ryder, Jill Berelowitz, Patrick Morales-Lee, Jemma Powell and Sir Quentin Blake have donated works to the Horatio’s Garden Online Art Auction 2023, going live for bidding from Friday 13 October – Sunday 29 October on the-saleroom.com.
For a preview of the artworks submitted so far, please click here.
Building on the success of the inaugural art auction in 2021, which raised over £70,000, this year’s event is once more in collaboration with and sponsored by fine art auctioneers Woolley & Wallis. The pieces are to be sold with no additional bidding or online fees.
All proceeds will directly support the charity in its mission to nurture the wellbeing of people after spinal injury in beautiful, vibrant sanctuaries within the heart of NHS spinal injury centres throughout the UK.
Artist John Illsley, founding member and bass guitarist of rock group Dire Straits, is donating a work and says “The incredible things Horatio’s Garden has achieved shows just what can be done to improve the lives of those in very difficult and challenging circumstances. Out of adversity is born hope – Horatio’s Garden is truly a testament to this and I’m delighted to be supporting it.”
Artist Sophie Tea added: “I am so honoured to join these incredible artists in our support of Horatio’s Garden and their vital mission through their upcoming art auction. It’s so exciting to be part of this collective effort and to contribute to their special cause by raising funds through creativity and art. A big thank you to everyone involved and I hope this year’s art auction is as big a success as their last!”
Artist Sophie Ryder earlier this year installed three beautiful bronze sculptures in Horatio’s Garden Stoke Mandeville. She said: “Installing my sculpture in Horatio’s Garden was a lovely experience. I spoke to a few patients who have undergone life changing experiences. It makes me happy to think my work may be able to give them a little bit of joy during such difficult times.”

Paul Chisholm didn’t know what to expect when he uploaded his work to Graduate Showcase. Emerging from his Chelsea MA in Fine Art into a sector on pause, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, wasn’t easy. But when a curator got in touch after spotting his work on Showcase, he found himself preparing for his first official solo show...
There’s nothing quite like seeing an art exhibition in person. "The texture, the environment, the physical object - especially with sculpture or painting, there is something tangible and real about the work,” says Paul Chisholm. “But Showcase transcends boundaries, countries and time zones, allowing a much wider audience.”
Paul has firsthand experience of this. When we speak, he’s just back from a week in Folkestone for a presentation of his work at The Brewery Tap, run by UCA Farnham. Their programmer curators had emailed him in January 2023. “They’d found my work on UAL Graduate Showcase and they wanted to offer me a solo show,” he remembers.
“It was such a great opportunity, with no strings attached. It was simply: here’s the gallery, do what you want, we love your work.” Since then, he’s been awarded an Arts Council Developing Your Creative Practice grant, which will give him the chance to delve into researching LGBTQ+ history and culture. What’s more, he’s also been shortlisted for the Queer Britain Art Prize.
But in the months and years immediately after he completed his degree, in the midst of a global pandemic, opportunities to exhibit physically were limited. Though he and his peers did have a degree show as their course ended in December 2019, within the first quarter of the following year, the world screeched to a standstill. “2020 was a real letdown. It was so sad – I’d just graduated, I had all this energy. I was about to have a show at Hoxton 253 in the summer and everything got cancelled.”
That’s where Showcase came in – providing virtual viewers with instant access to his work. The installation shots from his show at Chelsea meant he had ample images to choose from. “That documentation gave me a way to present a body of work and gain more exhibitions,” he says. “I've always had my website, but Showcase is great because it's ranked more highly on Google so when people search for my work, it comes up.”
Paul’s Showcase project, The Lost Children of Paradise, is a series of paintings of clown-like faces that portray the masks we wear socially to hide our true emotions. “I was diagnosed with HIV in 2007. I’ve struggled with my mental health, living with a disability for a long time. I think the portraits are a reflection of that melancholic feeling,” he says. “I work with industrial materials – household paint on canvas or MDF boards. The process is quite organic, it just flows out of me.”
After studying BA Fine Art at Nottingham Trent, Paul became a full-time artist in 2015. Originally his work centered on conceptual sculpture but for the past five 5 years he’s also been exploring painting and decided to take up the Master’s to further push himself in this direction. During the forced isolation of lockdown, he made a new body of work titled The Tronies of Croydon-OH, which was exhibited at Turf Project Space in Croydon in 2022. “A tronie is a head-based portrait from the golden age of Dutch painting. My series explores how, communicating online via Zoom, you sometimes see people just as their headshot. It’s about our connection, or disconnection, during the pandemic.”
Though the timing of graduation was, in many ways, less than ideal, Paul’s post-university career is now on a roll. And being featured on graduateshowcase.arts.ac.uk has been pivotal in this process. I feel like Showcase should be a mandatory part of the course curriculum,” he says, adding: “I’d really encourage every student to put their work up. Because you never know what may come out of it.”

" Fusing irony with allegory, Paul Chisholm creates works layered with allusions to his personal history and emotional state, subtly criticising social and political circumstances. Utilising his own experience as a springboard, he has built a distinctive visual language, imbued with poetic nuances of the often contradictory and disconcerting feelings related to the human condition.”Ana Bambic Kostov Art Historian 2018
Chisholm’s artistic practice revolves around conceptual explorations of identity, gender and politics, and it incorporates works completed in different media including painting, photography, installation and objects. Regardless of the material, his works possess a strong communicative quality, bearing messages garnished with both humour and pain. The confluence of bright colours and bold puns unveils the double entendre behind every visual.
The lost, the lonely, the disposed and the depressed, life is a parade, a journey and the lights must go on, it is a world of contradictory emotions and parodies, a place of hell and a place of heaven, of need and neglect, distraction, abundance and failure.
Paul Chisholm will present a body of paintings and sculptures from his Lost Boys series which is inspired by the boys lost to the HIV epidemic throughout the decades and related suicide. It also points to the stigma faced by those boys affected by HIV within modern day society.
