AAF TEXAS'24 - Emma Whitelock
Emma Whitelock studied Art alongside English Literature at the University of York St. John, graduating with a First Class Honours Degree and the University’s Humanities Prize. She was awarded a British Academy Scholarship to undertake an Interdisciplinary MA by Research in English with History of Art at the University of York. Her interest in literature complements the poetic nature of her painting.
Depicting evocative land and seascapes, Emma’s work often incorporates a lone female figure. Seeking to portray an emotional connection, the expansiveness of nature acts as a foil to human concerns with memory and solitude. The artist’s expressive style mixes semi-abstraction with a keen interest in composition; amorphous horizons leading the viewer on a visual journey. Her use of colour is both dramatic and ethereal, often giving the works the feeling of being poised on the borderline between day and night. They are charged moments, filled with rememberances of the past and possibilities for the future.
The artist, who resides in Yorkshire exhibits her work for the first time in London with Linda Blackstone at the Spring Affordable Art Fair in Battersea Park, March 2020. In 2019 Emma was elected as an exhibiting Member of Leeds Fine Artists.
