About Emmanuelle Orr

 
 
  • Biography
    I am a French Printmaker and Artist based in London and Paris, working across a range of techniques to produce limited edition original prints (screen printing, risograph printing, cyanotypes).  My work has been exhibited in the UK (London, Bath, Glastonbury, Doncaster) as well as internationally (Paris, Berlin) and I won the Art Hub studio prize at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair in 2022.

    In recent projects, I have been exploring how the forms and contours of images dissolve into light, colours and shapes, using the medium of screen printing to further pull the image apart: Halftones and gradients suggest dissolution and force the eye to constantly switch between the visual narrative of the bigger picture and the tangle of colours within, while layer overlays and offsets fool the mind into trying to find unity and harmony where there is only disorder and conflicting information.
    My practice sets out to represent the liminal moments and in-between spaces of our world. Whether focusing on bodies or landscape, I seek out moments of vulnerability in a busy world, the silence among all the noise, the light in between the darkness. My images slide and disappear, somewhere between real and unreal, mundane and uncanny, figurative and abstraction.

Biography

I am a French Printmaker and Artist based in London and Paris, working across a range of techniques to produce limited edition original prints (screen printing, risograph printing, cyanotypes).  My work has been exhibited in the UK (London, Bath, Glastonbury, Doncaster) as well as internationally (Paris, Berlin) and I won the Art Hub studio prize at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair in 2022.

In recent projects, I have been exploring how the forms and contours of images dissolve into light, colours and shapes, using the medium of screen printing to further pull the image apart: Halftones and gradients suggest dissolution and force the eye to constantly switch between the visual narrative of the bigger picture and the tangle of colours within, while layer overlays and offsets fool the mind into trying to find unity and harmony where there is only disorder and conflicting information.
My practice sets out to represent the liminal moments and in-between spaces of our world. Whether focusing on bodies or landscape, I seek out moments of vulnerability in a busy world, the silence among all the noise, the light in between the darkness. My images slide and disappear, somewhere between real and unreal, mundane and uncanny, figurative and abstraction.
