Bea Emsbach

(Frankfurt, 1965)

Trained in Fine Arts at the Hochschule für Gestaltung, drawing is the medium she uses to project her very personal universe. The red ink outlines bodies fused with an overflowing anthropomorphic nature, they are revealed anatomies that expose their blood vessels and mysterious organs. His graphic work adopts a scientific but unreal condition, generating biological systems that function according to their own rules. Bea Emsbach plays with the discoveries of natural sciences, but also with natural philosophical approaches and creates visions of an alienated world. Some of these drawings have been part of the Medialab project: Internetz 2002, Beutezüge im bodensatz der wissenschaften 1998, Wem die schwarze sonne scheint 2002.
