HATCH: A Hamtramck Art Collective
presents
The Art of Emily Whitehead
July 11-August 23, 2010
reception with the artist Friday, July 23, 6-9pm
at Café 1923, Hamtramck, MI
Emily Whitehead deftly harnesses elements of replication to infuse her creations
with an unmistakable aesthetic of conscious intent. Her work conveys an undeniably
independent and authentic character, influenced by the complexity of Bach,
the intensity of Durer, the precise realization of the physically impossible of Escher
and the synesthetic choreography of Nureyev. Whitehead’s earlier drawings and
paintings depict her years of discovery; more recent pieces convey her fears and
insecurities, and the hope that expelling them through art will move her to new and
interesting places in both life and her work. The act of creating is essential to her
livelihood and is an involuntary response to her environment.
