About Emma Lee Cracknell

Having graduated from Norwich University of the Arts in 2014 with an MA in Fine Art (BA Hons Fine Art 2013), I have since been producing and showing predominantly large scale abstract paintings in London, Norwich and abroad. My practice is rooted in the description of emotion that has no place within the written or verbal language. Through paint, I try to communicate the unknown, and allow the medium itself to act as a voice. This is combined with the act of drawing, the two often coming together on the canvas, to describe things that have no physical or recognizable form. After being selected as the Axis Web MA Star for NUA (2014), I have since been seen in British Vogue and Aesthetica Magazine, hold work in the NUA permanent collection and look forward to developing my practice as a young artist over the coming years.
