Brilliant Blue Shoes
Acrylic on Canvas
60x60cm
SHOE SHOW
Birr Theatre & Arts Centre, Birr, Co Offaly
Oct - end Dec 2007
A collection of shoe paintings inspired by the simple shoe, that is transformed into objects of desire through the medium of art.
In this exhibition Emma decided to use shoes as a means to appeal to a universal audience instead of a select one.
What is it about women and shoes?
We love them, buy them, wear them, and always, always want more. This isn't so surprising. From an early age we learn that shoes have magical power. They promise romance, excitement and the possibility of transformation. Ruby red flats got Dorothy home to Kansas, a single glass slipper helped Cinderella nab her prince, and just look at what Manolo Blahniks do for those girls on Sex in the City. Shoes have personality, the sexy stiletto, the powerful pump, the swanky slippers, the wondrous wellies.
Whether you choose an intimate, small piece for the boudoir or strive for one of the bold, dramatic wall-sized pieces for your pent house apartment, your choice of shoe painting will dramatically enhance its surroundings giving you the wow factor in any situation.
