Tracey Emin — Reincarnation V
Tracey Emin

Reincarnation V

A languid female figure is rendered in loose, expressive brushwork using gouache and watercolour, her form dissolving into the raw canvas in characteristic Emin fashion. Pencil lines trace the contours of the body with confessional intimacy, blurring the boundary between drawing and painting. The work embodies Emin's recurring themes of desire, vulnerability, and the cyclical nature of the self.

Medium
gouache, watercolour, pencil on canvas
