TRACEY EMIN (B. 1963)
Emin’s deeply confessional works confront themes of love, shame, desire, and survival with raw intensity. Rising to prominence with the YBAs, she became known for pieces like My Bed and her neon text installations. Her autobiographical style—through embroidery, drawing, and sculpture—transforms personal pain into universal emotion. Her works reside in Tate Modern, MoMA, and the Stedelijk Museum.
There should be something revelatory about art. It should be totally creative and open doors for new thoughts and experiences."
