2 colour lithograph on Somerset Velvet Warm White 400gsm

Edition of 50

Signed, numbered and dated by the artist

A frontal face emerges through pale, searching lines, framed by much darker strokes at either side. The contrast between delicate features and forceful surrounding marks gives this Tracey Emin lithograph a sense of both intimacy and unease. The lightly drawn shoulders and small floral forms below the face keep the image open and vulnerable rather than resolving it into a conventional portrait.

All works are supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by Dovehouse Contemporary.

The Artist

Tracey Emin

Tracey Emin is an English contemporary artist who was born in 1963. She works across a variety of mediums such as needlework, painting, sculptures, video, photography, drawing and installation. The content of Emin’s work often reflects elements of the expressive and confessional and her installations are bold and profound, as she is unafraid to depict aspects of her own life to form her compositions. At the Royal Academy of Arts, Emin offers advice and talks to developing artists in her position as Professor of Drawing. She is sometimes considered in relation to the Stuckism group, which was founded by her previous partner, Billy Childish, after suggesting that Emin was stuck in the past.
