Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
One Saturday night in Barcelona, last summer, I felt compelled to snap these women on the last train home. I'd had a drink and was feeling brave. I pretended to be playing with my phone - I even risked taking a second photo to get their feet in! It’s rude to stare and it's even ruder to take photos of people without their permission but how else am I supposed to capture people off guard? I wonder what they would have done if they caught me? I'm curious how they would feel if they ever recognised themselves in this artwork? The whole time I was painting this, I kept thinking about who they are, what their relationship is to one another and imagining the type of lives they lead. Also, I've been speculating about how people will feel about this painting once this pandemic is all over? Being reminded about such a unifying moment in history – one that's hopefully changing the people of the world for the better! So here these women are, displayed for the whole internet to see. Playing out their roles as caring citizens, wearing their disposable medical face masks, that also offer them a little anonymity. Do you think drawing attention to these women and giving everyone the opportunity to stare at them, crosses a line? Visit my blog to watch a time-lapse of me painting this piece! https://www.emmaplunkett.art/art-blog/art-studio-videos/

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
