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...

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.
