About the Item

Katie Eleanor, "Sweet Violet", 2019 Handcoloured portrait of blooming flower, immobilised in marble, featuring frozen eyes and the silky colours of Spring. Violet’s mind is fuelled by light, and although portrayed here as a bust her feet are always rooted within the depths of the Earth.

Together these works act as tales contained in a fictional sculpture hall, in direct reaction to Andre Malraux’s 1947 Le Musee Imaginaire (Museum Without Walls).

Photographers have often used sculpture in order to challenge our idea of a “sculptural” body or object, by casting them in a two-dimensional light. I love playing with perception. A lot of my work is influenced by the nineteenth century—the pictorialist movement for instance. When photography was a new experiment, people would play around with perception tricks—Victorian paper theaters...

Rooted first from her own words, Katie used the idea of illustrating as a form of personal art therapy by immersing herself in the realm of the otherworldly characters. Every aspect of each scene was created by Katie alone, from building and designing the sets to printing and hand-colouring the final images. In this act, over the year long course of the projects creation, the artist managed to make certain turmoil in her personal life bearable.

Andromeda, Hand painted screen print with diamond dust, portrait & pink flower
By Rosie Emerson
Located in Dallas, TX
Hand painted screen print with diamond dust on 410 gsm Saunders Waterford Paper 15 x 15 inches / 38 x 38 cm Edition of 16 + 2AP's As the prints are hand-painted they are all vary slightly. Price is for unframed, we are happy to coordinate framing for this piece at an extra cost. Produced in 2021 these latest celestial prints really sparkle when the light hits them! Rosie Emerson, born in 1981, is a contemporary artist working almost exclusively on representing the female form. Emerson’s figures draw reference from archetypes old and new, from Artemis to the modern day super model, each solitary figure, an allegory of her own fantasy. Interested in surface, the interplay between photography and painting. Emerson’s works are playful constructs; Photography is used, not as a device for capturing reality but for creating romanticised optical illusions. Inspired by her love of theatre, performance, shrines and rituals, she uses lighting, costume, set and prop making, alongside printmaking and painting to create other worldly one off pieces. Her photography is inspired by both the drama of the baroque, and ethereal qualities of Pre Raphaelite works. Other important influences include late medieval and renaissance paintings, Japanese prints, and magical realist literature. Emerson’s work is widely collected and exhibited both in the UK as well as internationally, through galleries, art fairs and museums. She has also worked with brands and individuals including Harvey Nichols, The Ivy Club, Sony, Triumph Underwear, Redbull, P&O Cruises, and Annoushka jewelry...
