Elliott Paul Emsley

Membrane from Outsideness - Recent Paintings

Elliott Paul Emsley explores the liminal in his series of recent paintings. Capturing architecture in its simplified form, without volume or solidity, his artwork speaks of the in-between, the dream-like haze of the new and undiscovered. Many of Emsley's subjects are depicted within glass-fronted structures, inviting the onlooker to consider the protection afforded by what we think we know; inviting you to consider the permeation of the "membrane from outsideness".

In Emsley's work, the impact rather than the identity of the figures is favoured, and working with quick-drying acrylic paint invites the artist to rework and rediscover his subjects and have their significance transformed.
