Emma Haworth: To Everything There as a Season
Multiple-award-winning artist, Emma Haworth, paints the shared outdoors, from urban parks and squares to beaches, countryside and woods. Haworth captures moments where nature collides with everyday human activity - picnics, dog walks, strolls, hikes, swims 鈥 with the precision of Bruegel鈥檚 The Fall of Icarus, a picture immortalised in W.H. Auden鈥檚 poem Musee des Beaux Arts.
The people who inhabit Haworth鈥檚 scenes are reminiscent of L.S. Lowry鈥檚 figures, but what makes them different and individually memorable is that every tiny detail is lovingly, accurately depicted 鈥 the logo on a T-shirt, the flash on a trainer, the pattern on a skirt, the bobble on a woolly hat.
These busy little figures are set against the eternal, majestic backdrop of ever-shifting seasons, capturing that sense of T.S. Eliot鈥檚 鈥榮till point of the turning world鈥. This tension between flux and stillness, the familiar and the mystical, gives Haworth鈥檚 paintings their exceptionally joyful beauty which continues to attract collectors and a devoted following.
