NAME Emma Condliffe
Emma returned to painting nine years after graduating from the University of Plymouth in 1998. She now lives and works in South London.
Her work considers the reality that photography captures and translates it to describe the very essence of a certain place in time. It aims to offer the viewer more than a still representation, capturing the atmosphere in a busy street or the mood of the subject, using movement to providing the viewer with more than the traditional still-life.
The street scenes are also concerned primarily with the colossus and the permanence of architectured structure and the juxtaposition with the transient, and fragile figures, depicting the constant movement of people journeying through these urban spaces.
A variety of mediums seeks to enhance this juxtaposition between the figures and the theatrical settings that they are put into, but also allows a freedom to experiment with and manipulate a scene.
