Artist Statement

Emilia Chubb (b.1997).

My paintings aim to be delightfully nostalgic and full of character. I’m inspired by the everyday, whether that be from nosing around cafés and markets for inspiration or wondering around the city at night; each painting aims to grasp the spirit of place using bold, vibrant colours.

I’m fascinated by places and people, and the relationship between the two. I explore ways in which I can encapsulate the beauty of time, location, and memory on an aesthetic and emotional level with my paintbrush.

Each place I paint is spontaneous, the scene must jump out at me with character in passing, I want my paintings to emit an authentic atmosphere and energy, with the overall goal to produce paintings that move with the rhythm and rush of the city.

Early Career and Education Summary:

I graduated in 2020 from the Courtauld Institute of Art, in History of Art, BA (Hons). I also studied Fine Art at UAL, Chelsea College of Art, and have a Foundation Diploma in Fashion and Textiles from UCA.
