Emily Stevens is a contemporary painter whose work expresses energy and feeling in a manner that rouses an instinctive emotive response. Her poolside paintings are ephemeral and nostalgic, and capture the sense of a tranquil space into which the viewer is invited to immerse themselves.
Emily Stevens is a contemporary painter whose work expresses energy and feeling in a manner that rouses an instinctive emotive response. Her poolside paintings are ephemeral and nostalgic, and capture the sense of a tranquil space into which the viewer is invited to immerse themselves.
Playing with the boundaries between drawing and painting, her work often uses collaged elements to link the two. Her sense for colour is instinctive and comes from her own experience of synaesthesia, in which sounds and tastes have their own corresponding colour identity. Stevens was Artist in Residence at the oldest outdoor swimming pool in the UK, Pells Pool, Lewes. A self-taught artist, she is now doing an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art.
We love how Emily uses a rich colour palette to enhance the subject of her compositions. Her sense for colour is instinctive and comes from her own experience of synaesthesia, in which sounds and tastes have their own corresponding colour identity. Using her own rare condition, Emily can do what other artists cannot: give true and visceral meaning to colour. This intriguing nature of her paintings is heightened by her unusual compositions and strange placement of her figures.
What is Archival Giclée
Giclée (/ʒiːˈkleɪ/ zhee-KLAY) is a neologism, ultimately derived from the French word gicleur, coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made using inkjet printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on a modified Iris printer in a process invented in the late 1980s. It has since been used widely to mean any fine-art printing, usually archival, printed by inkjet. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops for their high quality printing, but is also used generically for art printing of any quality.
