Hadassah Emmerich

Hadassah Emmerich (1974, Netherlands) depicts fruits, plants and female body parts as exotic objects of pleasure in her work. She explores the stereotypical view of the exotic, its sexualization and commodification.
Colorful souvenirs in markets in Indonesia often only satisfy our desires, with no real connection to the original culture.

As an artist with a multicultural background, she combines warm bright colors with cool muted colors, leading to fluid hues and a universal palette. She is fascinated by the integration of other cultures into our own and makes this theme the subject of her art.
