Emma Talbot explores the experience of life - from birth to death.

Compton Verney’s major summer exhibition features a collection of new and recent work by award-winning artist Emma Talbot which ‘powerfully explores the experience of life; from birth to death’.

The show includes examples of Emma’s sculpture, painting, animation, drawing and large-scale paintings on silk.

At the heart of the exhibition is an epic new installation called The Tragedies. Drawing on a selection of stories, including the Ancient Greek tale of Medea - who killed her two sons as an act of revenge - the artwork is a reflection on the ‘unbelievable acts of aggression’ which people feel compelled to commit during times of confrontation.

The exhibition also contemplates ‘our shifting relationships with technology, language and communication’, exploring how, in new forms and guises, they can transform public and political narratives.
