About Emily Nevitt

Originally from London, Emily is now based in Reading. Emily studied illustration in Falmouth, Cornwall, and has been working in graphic design while developing a fine art and printmaking practice.

Emily's work is firmly rooted in observational drawing, using figurative art as a basis for exploring the connection and disconnection of mind and body, time and memory. They aim to evoke the physicality of the body through realistic depictions and careful rendering, and use unusual colours, excessive detail and distorted or unreal compositional elements to connect internal emotional experiences to these physical elements. Emily uses printmaking processes such as linocut and etching to create detailed images with a distinct style of linework, hatching and tone, usually focusing on hands, faces and human figures.
