Rossie Emerson

Rosie Emerson

December 2011

ROSIE EMERSON has always had a long-standing obsession with silhouettes and female iconography, drawing reference from archetypes old and new, from Artemis to the modern day super model.

The works aim to both celebrate, and offer a mild critique on the depiction of women, and explore her wider feelings towards seduction, aesthetics, objectification and ‘spectacle’ all interwoven within figurative works of art. Inspired to ‘make real’ her drawings, her work has recently moved into photography, which has bought the work full circle from it’s roots in subverting fashion advertising using paint and collage.
