‘The most beautiful thing is honesty, even if it’s really painful to look at’  Tracey Emin

Tracey Emin, a British artist, is recognised for her diverse use of media, encompassing drawing, video, installation art, sculpture, and painting. Her artwork often centers around her own life, making it a central subject of her creative expression.

 

Described as confessional, her art draws heavily from her personal history as its subject matter. Employing her own body in self-portraits and performances, she engages in a form of self-mapping and self-commemoration. The artworks explore the potential for healing and spirituality within the realm of art.

 

Tracey Emin was born in 1963 in London. She currently lives and works between London, the South of France, and Margate, UK. Emin has exhibited extensively including major exhibitions at Royal Academy of Arts, London, Paris , France, Vienna, Miami, Edinburgh , Spain, Sydney and Amsterdam.
