Description: In 'Detail of Love', visual artist Tracey Emin explores love, loss, and longing in two distinct bodies of work: a group of large-scale paintings and a series of poignant gouaches created in her London home. Drawing upon her own memories and emotions, her recent canvases address the turbulent and often ambiguous emotions associated with sex and desire, the realm of physical intimacy and passion. Rather than producing literal depictions of scenarios or precise events, Emin captures the emotions they awaken. Through the power of recollection, she maps the bittersweet nature of unconditional love and how the domestic sphere can function as a site of catharsis and consolation. Exhibition: Xavier Hufkens Galerie, Brussels, Belgium (30.10-19.12.2021).
Notes: Chiefly illustrated.
