A solo show from French Female artist, Ema
Saturday 10th September till Sunday 9th October 2011
Overview:
Ema grew up in France, discovering graffiti in the early 90s. She has gone on to paint and exhibit all over the world and for the past 10 years she has lived and worked in New York where you can see her work both inside and outside of the gallery. For this exhibition, titled Breuckelen (the original name for Brooklyn), Ema presents a series of ink paintings, prints and mural pieces celebrating a decade of soul-searching and creative explorations in the city.
Exhibition:
Ema began spray-painting the walls of her hometown, Montpellier in the early 90's. Instantly hooked by graffiti, it wasn't long before her works adorned buildings and trains throughout the South of France, Paris and Barcelona and later the rest of Europe and North America.
As a resident of New York for the past 10 years, Ema's work can be seen throughout the city, both inside and outside of the gallery; from exhibitions in Chelsea, to wheat-pastes in Brooklyn and large-scale murals across Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx.
For this exhibition, titled Breuckelen (the original name for Brooklyn), Ema presents a series of original ink paintings prints and murals celebrating a decade of soul-searching, creative explorations and one-hell-of-a-time in the city so good, they named it twice.
The show will run till the 9th of October open 12-6pm Tuesday to Sunday.
