Emma Hopkins (British, born 1989)
Portrait of Doreen Wallace (2018)
PAINTING
Oil on cotton
45 x 30 inches

Focusing almost exclusively on nude portraits and studies of human flesh, Emma Hopkins turned to portrait-painting after graduating with a degree in Make-up and Prosthetics for Performance from the University of the Arts London, where she trained in the design and making of prosthetic body parts for theatre, film and television.

“I want to understand as much as I can about what it means to be human," she says. "We are not just the clothed person we present to the world. We are the mind and body that we inhabit. There are aspects that connect us all and we are also unique individuals. I moved into painting portraits because it is a celebration of this.”

Employing a variety of materials to create multiple interpretations of her sitters, the works progress from intuitive studies that teeter on the edges of abstraction and surrealism to emotionally charged oil paintings that are sculptural in style and clinical in detail.

“I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best.”

Sudden Downpour, 2023
Carborundum, Collagraph, Drypoint
35 × 35 cm
Sarah Morgan is a British artist who works mainly with intaglio printmaking, using collagraph prints and gouache paint, enjoying the texture and atmosphere you can create with them. Sarah’s prints are often inspired by memories, thoughts of adventures and and the everyday things that catch her eye and imagination. Originally Sarah trained in theatre set design and production and worked as freelancer for many years as a painter / prop maker. She lives and works in London.
Artist statement: “I love exploring the possibilities that printmaking has to offer. I love the texture and atmosphere you can create with them, the effects and tonal depth often resulting in an ethereal quality to them. It is my favourite type of printmaking.
The inking up process has to be repeated by hand for each print which is why each prints can vary a little making each print unique and original which I feel is all part of their charm.”
