Meaning & Analysis

A great example of Emin’s seminal Nude Self-Portraits, Dog Brains is just one of some 800 drawings that form an integral part of her body of work. Self-referential, confessional and intensely intimate, Emin has described this particular work as coming from “a series of self-portraits about being drunk”. In her own words, “Dog Brains has got humour. It looks like a bit of a tragic, spindly, pissed figure. I’d want people to feel empathy. I want women to say, “Yeah, I know how that feels.”

Emin’s spindly and tragic self-portrait is therefore not only relatable in its subject matter, but appeals to a primarily female audience through her brutally honest depiction of her drunk self. Famously inspired by Egon Schiele, Emin depicts herself with a spontaneous and fluid use of line, mirroring the dizzying effects of alcohol.

  • Tracey Emin, born in 1963, stands as a fearless provocateur in the contemporary art scene. A trailblazer of the Young British Artists (YBA) movement in the late 1980s, the artist has sparked conversation and controversy for decades. Confronting themes of love, trauma and femininity with great vulnerability, Emin's work is a visceral tapestry of her life and has forged an intimate dialogue between artist and audience. In 1999, this raw approach to storytelling won her a nomination to the Turner Prize and, in 2007, it got her a coveted spot as a Royal Academician at the Royal Academy of Arts (RA).
