The Artist: Emma Tooth
Emma Simcock-Tooth is a hyper-realist portrait painter based in Derbyshire, England. Though she undertook her academic training at Loughborough University, she is by and large self-taught. Emma doesn't rely on preliminary sketches but orchestrates her compositions entirely in her imagination. By staging elaborate photo shoots for reference, controlling lighting, costume and pose, Emma translates the images from her mind’s eye onto the canvas. Her work harkens back to the lavish portraiture of the 18th century, with glowing tones and dynamic shadows.
Beauty found in unusual places and the fragility of flesh juxtaposed against the textures of derelict buildings is a recurring motif, as it provides the artist comfort in their transitory nature.
Among Emma's influences are: the Symbolist movement, the Pre-Raphaelites, Russian Iconography, Art Nouveau, and Japanese imagery. She continues to develop an extensive personal mythology in her work, creating an amalgam of modern and historical references.
