Philia presents E+E - Illustrations by Emily Eldridge - Oct 16
Friday, 10 October 2008
Philia presents E+E: Illustrations by Emily Eldridge. Emily Eldridge is originally from the United States, where she studied illustration at the Savannah College of Art & Design. Based in Hong Kong for the past three years, she takes inspiration from the oddities and unique aspects of Asian culture and history around her. She incorporates her personal experiences and world travels into her lighthearted, colorful and feminine pieces.
Her work has since been featured in Canada's Applied Arts magazine, the book Girlology: A Girl's Guide to Stuff that Matters, HCI Publishing 2005, and Hong Kong's arts magazine, GalleriTHREE, among others. Her illustration work has recently jumped off the paper and can be found on walls in both Hong Kong and Rome, including the outer walls of Hong Kong's local hangout, Yumla. She has been living in Hong Kong since 2005, and uses Hong Kong and her travels around the world as a major source of inspiration for her work, injecting elements of urban life into her paintings, sculptures, installations, murals, and graphic designs.
