Arnolfini - est 1961


Join us for a special in conversation between artist Emma Talbot and curator and Head of Exhibitions Gemma Brace, as they delve into Talbot’s practice and the inspiration behind Talbot’s latest work and the exhibition Emma Talbot: Everything is Energy, which includes drawing, painting, installation and animation.

The galleries will be open until 6.30pm to explore the exhibition at your own pace before the talk begins.

Emma Talbot (born 1969, Stourbridge) lives and works in London. She studied at the Birmingham Institute of Art & Design and Royal College of Art. Working in drawing, painting, animation and sculpture Talbot often articulates internal narratives as visual poems or associative ruminations, based on her own experience, memories and psychological projections. Incorporating her own writing and references to other literary and poetic sources, Talbot’s work considers complex issues such as feminist theory and storytelling; ecopolitics and the natural world; and pertinent questions regarding our shifting relationships to technology, language and communication.

Emma Talbot is represented by Galerie Onrust, Amsterdam and will exhibit at Arnolfini 18 October 2025 to 8 February 2026.
