As “everybody knows”, a dear friend of mine always likes to say! I have a love of the group of British artists that are considered like the “rat pack”. Forward thinking, edgy,
no boundaries
Sardonic, mis-behaved and wildly talented! TRACEY EMIN is that gal!
I hope you enjoy this post!
Tracey Emin is one of Britain’s most celebrated contemporary artists.
Her work features painting, drawing, photography, textiles, video, neon and sculpture.
Works that are by turns tough, romantic, desperate, angry, funny and full of longing.
Since the early 1990s, Emin (b.1963) has used her own life as the starting point for her art, exposing the most harrowing and intimate details of her personal history.
Sometimes confrontational or sexually provocative, her work resonates with
the ‘personal political’ legacy of feminist art while at the same time speaking to relationships in general. Disarmingly frank and yet often profoundly private, much of Emin’s art –– is also animated by her playful and ironic wit.
