Australian-born Emily Wilcock paints figures of a powerful presence. They are frightening, confrontational, and alluring to those of a curious and eager disposition. Wilcock is fearless - mixing media in the hope that she will conjure the image and presence of a fantastical and yet completely real character. Composed of fast brush strokes, incisions, and other marks, these figures appear bold and brilliant, born in the mind of the artist and translated directly into painting. Some have their complex psychology and emotion articulated by their pose, some by the gesture with which they are painted, and others by their distorted anatomy. Dual-headed, Janus-faced, these characters propose ideas of the internal and external, of the conscious and unconscious, of the psyche and the body.
