Emily Malone is a UK based painter celebrated for her joyful approach to classical paintings and themes. Her paintings are a rebellious reinterpretation of romantic and erotic subjects from European Art History, creating dynamic conversation within her work about where classical painting meets contemporary.  She draws from a deep appreciation for classical art: the elegance, intricacy, mythology, symbolism and themes; and subtly weaves elements of her personal life, thoughts and feelings into her work, branding it ‘pop-renaissance’. 

 

Much of Emily’s work centers around themes of love and erotica. She is well known for her series of ‘Grecian Urn’ paintings which reimagine erotic Ancient-Greek pottery with delightful florals and a joyful sense of colour. 

 

Emily studied Fine Art at Norwich University of Art where she obtained her BA in 2023, and continues to live and work. She has exhibited at The Other Art Fair and Fresh: Art Fair London, Mall Galleries and The Brick Lane Gallery, and recently The Other Art Fair Brooklyn, New York. Emily exhibits her paintings frequently in London, represented by Leontia Gallery and Art Friend Gallery.
