TRUE STORY
Award winning artist, Emma Hercus paints naive, semi-abstract figurative artworks in brilliant, thick layers of luscious acrylics. Artworks that vibrate with an energy of pattern and contrasting/clashing colours.
"I like to celebrate the landscape; the freedom and jaunty personalities of animals and the stories of people both ancient and modern. The common thread throughout my work is that we need to take care of our place and its creatures and people, and to celebrate the simple joys of life."
"True Story" is a collection of paintings loosely based on Emma's memories of events, dreams and stories from her childhood. She mixes an active imagination with events that may or may not have happened. The result is a spirited, magic journey of discovery into a space of positivity, curiosity and vibrance. An entrancing expression of appreciation that exudes energy, and exploration; which seeks to connect to provide a like-minded relationship.
