Road Rage on Westminster Bridge - By Emmesse
An unusual London scene depicting an interpretation of Westminster bridge. Road rage; perhaps a Northerner's perception of life in London? Emmesse's trademark Dickensian figures spring up in the foreground, this time seeming wild and imposing.

Mosley Street - By Emmesse
This composition acts as a signpost for Manchester. The transvestite rabbit has just left Canal Street. A Chinese man heads to Chinatown. However their expressions are somewhat sinister. A vicar crosses the road looking suspiciously like Ming the Merciless. A woman in hijab carries a rucksack filled with flowers. Both of these characters cross the road via a deep...

Curious Composition Filler In St Ann's Square
A bombast against the 'rules' of composition and traditional painting. Elements from the '4th dimension' often fall into Emmesse's paintings. The amusing thing here is that everyone in the painting is deliberately looking the opposite way from the composition filler... and... what is it?!

Crossing At Whitworth Street - By Emmesse
More signposted references to Manchester here. The reflections in the pavement depict 2 guys on their way to the village, arm in arm. The Dickensian character re-emerges with pipe, and also in green heading to Deansgate Locks with... a fox...? Creatures hop playfully into the Manchester puddles at the side of the crossing. Emmesse thrives on the idea that what he...

Two Blue Dogs - By Emmesse
A nostalgia-charged piece reminiscing of childhood and the past. The view up Oxford Street to the Central library in the background. The old Modernist building of the Odeon cinema stands to the right, now derelict and unwanted for a number of unhappy years. The ghostly blue dogs guard this building that Emmesse used to frequent as a child. A charmingly surreal yet...

Cyber Woman - By Emmesse
A piece painted in oil and Indian ink and etched to achieve a stunning effect. Emmesse and his commentary on women, power and their sexuality. The woman looks to have a robotic arm which should have great power. Her naked pose should also have sexual power but the distortion of her figure and her demeanour suggest otherwise. The peacock-like feathers suggest more...

Tailors of Oxford Road - By Emmesse
Another reminiscent piece of traditions gone by. The scruffy man makes his way sloppily to McDonalds for some barely nutritious lunch. The rarely seen tailors of Oxford Road scramble alongside him, tidying his coat, trousers, and shoes, clinging on to the maxims of a more traditional time. Emmesse laments the culture of consumerism and the impatience of the MTV...

Senorita
Emmesse paints because he has to. But he doesn't take his work too seriously. A poker-faced flamenco dancer with a quirky addition to her rear. The artist revels in his right to paint exactly what he wants, where he wants.

This is a riot of Emmesse’s imagination, in a Salvador Dali style, depicting some aspects of his life. Emmesse is in the top left, strung up in a shark infested pool. He is overlooked by authoritative figures bearing documents and whips. ‘My Life’ includes the usual iconography we've come to expect from Emmesse; animals in the midst of personification and the...

Rejuvenation - By Emmesse
A juxtaposition of old and new. Taken from a point in Whalley Range, an area with a traditional and long-inhabited community. Elderly figures emerge in the headlights on the road; dancing, rejoicing, remembering? Or perhaps lamenting. The stark newness of the Beetham Tower literally towers over their community. The 2 symbols at the top invite an argument. Which...

My Mad Mind
Representation of a split personality. Two heads in the middle ground, one well groomed, the other a more chaotic and anarchic character. The two personalities sit behind a very smart chap wearing a cummerbund. The black and pink in the background represents thoughts and physical brain matter. A chaotic mind.

Retreating Into An Abstract Hole In Oldham Street
After indulging in some daytime drinking in a dark bar in the centre of town, a man emerges from the doorway to find that it's still daylight, the world has been carrying on without him, and now, in the hustle and bustle of busy Oldham Street, he is completely at odds with his surroundings. Hazy and disorientated he panics, feeling paranoid yet insignificant in a...

Finding The Point To Pointlessness - By Emmesse
This Picasso-influenced painting features a hermit-like creature, crawling about his surroundings. The title suggests it all; 'finding the point to pointlessness'; this creature spends his life meandering around his world, not achieving a great deal, in search of some meaning to his life. Little does he know that, ultimately, there is no point.

Mad Man On Oxford Road - By Emmesse
A man who lived on Oxford Road, Manchester, all his life. The 'Mad Man' of Oxford Road. Having grown up on this thoroughfare of the city centre, he has seen the corridor evolve. Now, at 60, he is tired and lethargic. He is no longer languishing on the streets, he has grown and now stands aloft one of the buildings, looking down upon his environment. The arms reach...

Corpse Lake - By Emmesse
A dreamlike, ethereal painting, full of narrative. Corpse Lake sits to the left of the painting. Beside it we see a baboon; they often feature in Emmesse' work; dragging a decapitated corpse. Surprisingly, not as gruesome as it sounds. In the centre we see a shark-infested pool, a yellow brick road leading across the pool, from under another baboon, to safety at...

The title tells the main story. Towards the bottom of the canvas, in the centre, we see the death of the alcoholic. A sinister, ethereal character at the top in the centre plays an odd-looking keyboard, controlling the scene. A music maestro. Is he responsible for the death of the alcoholic? The Aladdin character to the right stands, worried, paranoid. Just above...

All You Ever Needed To Know - By Emmesse
A man with a head as a beacon of light. He knows 'everything'; apparently; yet he's still just a painting. Te continual human search for knowledge and meaning brings us to a painting. There IS nothing to know. It's an image that references logic and intellect; the 15th Century style hands clutch a bible; a reference book of stories. The man's gown covered in...

Based upon one of those evenings rarely shared with more than one other person; sat awake all night, talking, drinking... perhaps drinking too much and then talking too much. Saying things you wouldn't have said 12 hours ago.

A painting about drunkeness, lust, and the quest for escapism. A woman walks up the left side of the canvas. A shadowed figure on the left, having had too much to drink, sways and leers at the woman. The erratic 'wall' in between to two individuals acts as a signpost for the feeling of never quite 'getting there' in terms of being comfortable and enjoying...

Life is all about making decisions. In shaping our identities we must make decisions. In the centre of the canvas is a man crouched upon a flying carpet, swimming through indecision. A soldier-like figure on the left reminds us that he makes one decision, and the rest are taken away from him. He follows orders. So many options to choose from... the painting...
