Emma Amos
Spanning a period of nearly five decades of work, this is the first UK solo exhibition of pioneering African American artist Emma Amos (b.1937, Atlanta, Georgia; d.2020, New York). In the 1950s, Amos lived in London, studying at the Central School of Art and Design.
Amos combines painting, textiles, and printmaking, often incorporating African fabrics, photo transfers, and vibrant colours. Her work is politically charged and addresses themes of race, gender and identity.
