ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Emily Gee is a queer and neurodivergent artist from Cardiff, Wales. She works primarily within abstract shapes, colour, text, and texture; creating gestural and process-based works that rely heavily on the artist's intuition and emotion.

Gee’s work is often autobiographical and used as a way to process varied lived experiences. They are inspired by the work of Helen Frankenthaler and the concept of automatism, the works and philosophy of Keith Haring, Jean-Michele Basquit, Claude Monet, Tracy Emin, and Louise Bourgeois. She also enjoys music and poetry which often find their way into her work. 

Her work explores themes of identity - drawing on her own experiences of being a neurodivergent and traditionally-feminine-presenting person in a patriarchal world. Gee is also interested in the aspects of performance that come along with using their experiences as subject matter, as well as the inherent performance of existing in today's social and political climate. 

 

COLLABORATIONS AND PROJECTS: 

Gee is open to collaborating with other creatives, including designing merchandise and currating an exhibition of work from the diabled community, and has facilitiated the involvement of queer youth club Impact in a collaborative exhibition at Duddiau Du in Cardiff. 

Emily also has experience in leading arts and crafts sessions working with groups of varying ability, you can see some examples of the work she does here.
