This small etching was produced in 2013 by Young British Artist, Tracey Emin. At the top of the composition are the words “LOVE YOU”, written in Emin’s distinctive and naive handwriting, with the letter “Y” written backwards. Underneath these romantic words is a small abstracted figure, composed with a continuous line of ink, which forms a backwards “L” shape and therefore compliments the text element of the print.
Perpetually fascinated by love and romance, Emin’s Love You is testament to her ability to produce sentimental works which are both personal and relatable. The small figure at the bottom of the illustration forms a backwards “L” shape, complimenting the romantic words above it rather like an illustrated children’s book. In her typical style, Emin merges poetic prose with witty illustration, revealing the universality of love and the naive giddiness it instils.
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).
