Emerson Mayes

Emerson is a Yorkshire born award-winning artist . Since graduating with a B.A. (Hons) in Graphic Arts from Leeds Metropolitan University, Emerson has a reputation for a fresh, honest and uncontrived approach to his work.

With his roots firmly in the British landscape tradition, Emerson’s landscapes reflect his obvious passion for this vast and complex subject. Although he strives to achieve a direct response, he is never tied down by the ‘topographical’ elements in the landscape.

Through constant working and reworking a relationship builds up between the landscape and the painting, resulting in a truthful yet intuitive conclusion to each piece.

Emerson’s work has been exhibited in both solo and group shows around the country and his work can be found in a number of Public, Corporate and Private collections.
