We\u2019re delighted to introduce\u00a0Emily Oades<\/a>\u00a0to the gallery, a young artist just graduated from Leeds Arts University. The oil paintings she’s producing are ambitious, head-turning works that recall the seminal contemporary British painter Cecily Brown\u00a0\u2013\u00a0who once described painting as a transformative \u201ckind of alchemy.\u201d\u00a0 We hope you enjoy browsing Emily\u2019s work here.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Our take:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0In these arresting, monumental paintings the mood is nevertheless light \u2013 ecstatic, even \u2013 just as the application of the oil paint is light, deftly done. Compositionally her paintings will have many centres: equilibrium through multiplicity. They feel cellular in their symmetric \/ asymmetric rhythm. Layers upon layers of paint represent embodied desire.\u00a0
\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually Emily\u2019s paintings are overwhelmingly abstract, but on occasion coalesce into recognisable scenes, or glimpses of human forms. They do so in such a way as to reconsider distinctions between abstract and figurative scenes. Both entail an essential energy: the painter\u2019s line \u2013 whether transcribing an abstract shape or gesture, or the shape of a limb or head \u2013 conveys electricity. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
