About the artist
Emma’s work is done entirely from life, accounting for the hallucinatory intensity of her realism. Hers is a ‘hungry brush,’ seeking ever greater visual complexity – she makes a platter of fruit come lusciously alive by lovingly detailing the blemishes and scars on the mangoes and bananas. Perfection here is delivered not as supermarket uniformity and bland brilliance of colour but as a property of life and growth. Perhaps one can say that Emma Zaidi’s art blows away the plastic from the surface of everyday life…
