Artist Research: Tracey Emin

Tracey Emin

Tracey Emin's work, 'Everyone i have ever slept with' is a well known piece. Tracey Emin  has decorated it with the names of everyone she has slept with. People do not tend to make it public information who they have slept with which makes it controversial.
Her brothers name was also inside the tent which made everyone a bit confused by the message she was trying to get across, everyone thought the tent was about all the people she had sex while it is actaully the names of people she has shared a bed with. i.e. even her grandma features on it.

Tracey Emin is an english artist born in 1963. She uses her life events as inspiration for her work from painting, drawing, video and installation, to photography, needlework and sculptures. Emin shows her audience her hopes, humiliations, failures and successes and sometimes work that is frequently both tragic and humorous. She also sometimes features text in her monoprint work.

I think that Emin's work is inspiring because she is not afraid to use her own experiences as inspiration. She makes bold points using her work. The picture shows that her work is quite child like and features bright colours which are very eye catching to her audience.
