About The Artwork
I painted this abstract oil painting on a scrap piece of board that I got from the bins - I had it cut to size and then primed it. I wasn’t precious about it at all. Every day, after finishing my more formal landscape painting, I just used whatever paint that was leftover on my palette and whimsically painted, without thinking. Eventually, the composition started to take shape and I carefully coaxed it into being - without too much fussing. Putting one's thoughts to one side seems to be one of the secrets for making good art. To stop thinking altogether is the aim and just let the art materials guide you in absent-minded play. As soon as I start thinking, things seem to get harder. That’s why doodling, while you are on the phone, works so well, because your mind is occupied and your creative brain has space to exercise itself freely, without judgment. The composition has not been abstracted from anything in real life. It is wholly from my imagination - completely made up! My aim is to open my mind when I paint, to try and allow every painting to become something more than just the sum of its parts.

Emma is a London born and educated artist, digital video maker and designer – her artwork straddles stoneware sculpture, cyanotype printing, painting (watercolour, oil and acrylic), illustration, photography, fabric art, animation and vector design. Emma's art is highly personal, her subjects include her friends (animal as well as human), places she’s visited, experiences and things that capture her imagination. Her artwork is uncontrived and free from trying to be anything other than what it is. "At the core of Emma Plunkett's work is the female. Not feminine or politicised. Whether it be a disappearing view of trees into the Spanish horizon, a slithering viscous ceramic or a candid nude. It is always individual and genuine. This we must celebrate”. Gareth Lister - Artist & Curator
