Institutionalised Man / Ape - By Emmesse
A comment on the existential human condition. How much have we really evolved? How much freedom do we really have? What is our real purpose in life?

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?!

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...

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...

Representation of a split personality. Two heads in the middle ground, one well groomed, the other a more chaotic and anarchic character.

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.

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...

The Aladdin character to the right stands, worried, paranoid. Just above...

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...
