Paul Neagu (1938, Bucharest - 2004, London) was a British-Romanian artist who worked in various media including drawing, sculpture, performance art and watercolour. He died in London on June 16, 2004. His influences include Cubism and Marcel Duchamp. His works can be found in public collections including, among others, the British Museum in London, the Departmental Fund for Contemporary Art in Seine Saint-Denis in Bobigny, France, the Municipal Gallery of Modern Art Hugh Lane in Dublin , the Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts in Lausanne in Switzerland, the National Art Museum of Romania in Bucharest, the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the USA and the Tate Gallery in London. For Paul Neagu, art is an expression of "desire in the face of systems that try to inhibit it", as he puts it; and desire involves the 're-establishment' of what he calls, variously, 'the hyphen', 'the abstract', 'the gamma', which imply 'materiality', particularly conveyed by 'figurative essence sculptures, paintings, and drawings". Neagu's works, whatever their medium, are full of desire, as their visceral energy suggests." Donald Kuspit
