TRACEY EMIN

Yesterday, we went along to the Southbank, Hayward Gallery to see the new Tracey Emin exhibition, Love is What You Want.
The exhibition surveys the rather controversial and outspoken career or Emin, who has become one of Britain’s most celebrated contemporary artists.
Using her own life and experiences as the starting point for her work, Emin has created a combination of explicit, romantic and profound art.
Most of the pieces are based around the idea of femininity. She uses hand sewn blankets, strobe lighting in the form of words and large wooden structures, so there is certainly no room for boredom here.
Definitely worth a visit, but probably not one to bring the grandparents to!
