Emily Gee is a queer and neurodivergent artist from Cardiff, Wales. She works primarily within abstract shapes, colour, text, and texture; creating gestural and process-based works that rely heavily on the artist's intuition and emotion.
Gee’s work is mostly autobiographical and used as a way to process lived events that vary from music the artist enjoys to the trauma they have experienced. They are inspired by the work of Helen Frankenthaler and the concept of atomism, as well as the works and philosophy of Keith Haring. They also draw inspiration from the works of Claude Monet, Tracy Emin, and Louise Bourgeois. She also enjoys music and poetry which often find their way into her work.
Her work explores themes of femininity, drawing on her own experiences of being a traditionally-feminine-presenting person in a patriarchal world, the trauma that comes along with this, as well as examining the on-going process of healing from this trauma. Gee is also interested in the aspects of performance that come along with using their experiences as subject matter, as well as the inherent performance of existing in today's political climate.
Gee has taken part in a number of exhibitions in the Cardiff area, including Cardiff MADE, Dyddiau Du, Tiny Rebel, and Pallet.008, and Pallet’s Guerilla Galleries in Morgan Arcade, Cardiff.
