ABOUT EMA FROST
|
Ema Frost burst onto the Auckland art scene in 2010 and has been captivating her fans with her unique style ever since. Her bright colours to give life to beautiful images, the inspiration of which comes from Ema’s fascination and deep respect for the mystery and magic found in Maori and Japanese folklore. The often delicate and always delightful characters she creates are the perfect marriage of these mythical cultures. Part of the charm of her work is in the little idiosyncrasies that are found only upon closer inspection of her images. Look carefully and you will see little characters peeking out from unsuspecting places and the omniscient Tiki watermark that protects all life in the world of her imagination.
Not one to stand still, Ema travels extensively, finding inspiration off the beaten path. Like the characters that hide within her works, Ema tests the boundaries of her imagination when she loses herself in the unfamiliar land and cityscapes that are beyond our shores. Ema also leaves a touch of ‘Frost’ behind in every country she visits, her work can be found in galleries in Japan, India, Germany and across North America. Ema also teaches the art of Kintsugi throughout New Zealand, and we are excited that she will be bringing her Kintsugi workshops to Quay Gallery. Please enquire to participate: [email protected] |
