Can we talk about this? Thing of what day, normal service is nearly resumed…. Monday,? Where were we? Where have you been? Where did the day go?
The Outsiders London is pleased to present FEAST, a striking new solo exhibition by UK-based abstract artist Emma Richardson.
“Emma Richardson‘s debut solo exhibition with The Outsiders features large-scale paintings and drawings, examining the jungle of the subconscious through a mixture of loosely applied oil and charcoal. FEAST explores the fluid nature of the human psyche, forming an abstract and suggestive body of work that is simultaneously visceral and evocative”

EMMA RICHARDSON
Hailing from the south coast of England, Emma Richardson is a pioneer of contemporary abstract art. Primarily working with oil, acrylic and charcoal, she typically creates large-scale paintings on linen that are both visceral and evocative.
Richardson’s paintings exploit the medium to explore the nature of the human form, while making use of the physical quality of the medium against the rough texture of the linen on which she often works, drawing upon influences from painting masters such as Francis Bacon and the drawings of Hans Bellmer.
Since graduating with a BA in Fine Art (Painting) from Wimbledom School of Art in 2004, Richardson has split her time between her fine art practice and performing in the band, Band Of Skulls.
Her first major solo exhibition, Crusin’ For A Bruisin’, took place in February 2012 in East London’s Londonewcastle Project Space. The same series of paintings were later exhibited in Hong Kong in May 2012 as part of the group exhibition, Daydreaming with… The Hong Kong Edition, to great critical acclaim.
Emma Richardson lives and works in her hometown of Southampton.
