Watercolor on paper, 24 x 30 cm © Emma Talbot & Kusseneers GalleryFocus ardst : Emma Talbot, born in 1969Others ardsts exhibited on the booth: David Godbold, Rik SmitsPrices of the works: from 500 € to 5 000 €Following the death of her husband, Emma Talbot started making these simplisdc and pared back images of her life with him. These images are storytelling at its purest and most honest, however this is more akin to filmmaking. The layouts, the repeddve imagery, the close-­‐ups, long shots, cuts and edits involve you in the way that narradve cinema can. Like any great Hollywood movie, Emma Talbot has included elements not necessarily connected with the primary narradve, characters and events that set the historical context. It is this ahendon to detail that elevates her work to another level. At dmes it feels slightly intrusive as the work is so personal.Emma Talbot (1969, Worcestershire) lives and works in London and has exhibited in the UK, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, Australia and the USA. Talbot has been shortlisted for the John Moores Paindng Prize 2012, and her work will feature in ‘The Power of Paper’ at the Saatchi Gallery.
