I recently found out about Tracey Emin during my last visit to the library. They had her book in my favorite section. Tracey Emin is magnificant. She's wacky but super creative and very honest in some of her work. I am dying to own her thousand drawings book, and I'm dying to see her exhibit.
This is her potraying Frida Kahlo.
In 1996, Tracey Emin lived in a locked room in a gallery for fourteen days, with nothing but a lot of empty canvases and art materials, in an attempt to reconcile herself with paintings. Viewed through a series of wide-angle lenses embedded in the walls, Emin could be watched, stark naked, shaking off her painting demons. Starting by making images like the artists she really admired (i.e. Egon Schiele, Edvard Munch, Yves Klein), Emin’s two-week art-therapy session resulted in a massive outpouring of autobiographical images, and the discovery of a style all her own. The room was extracted in its entirety, and now exists as an installation work.
Here are some of her work that I really liked.
She also does a series of light installations that are pretty ~*~*~tumblr famus~*~*~*~
But seriously, they're really cool I want one for my room, house, everywhere
"I have it all here"
"My Bed"
(my bed too, this is actually my favorite)
