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.

Untitled, Large Color Photography Ocean Night Scene on Canvas By O Devan

Mixed media, photography and acrylic paint on canvas. One of a kind.
O. Devan paints that which he doesn't really see.
His camera captures a second in time, as if he stops at his tracks and takes a step back to embrace that particular second in time and space.
Devan's works are eternal; he does not pretend to reinvent the wheel in his paintings but to redefine it. The skies, the ocean, clouds and cityscapes are for anyone to recreate, but capturing these layers that surround the image is where Devan's genius lies.
