Tracey Emin's 'Choose Love' (2024) exemplifies her characteristic approach to art through a freehand diaristic drawing featuring sweeping brushstrokes that depict a figure lying on a bed. The lithograph carries a powerful message about the conscious decision to embrace love over darker emotions.
The work connects deeply to Emin's broader artistic practice, where love is a fundamental theme alongside desire, loss, and grief. Her treatment of the nude figure, executed in her signature loose, immediate style, creates an unfiltered lens into emotional states. The reclining figure in 'Choose Love' continues her tradition of using the body as a vessel for expressing vulnerability and authenticity.
Through her monoprints and drawings, Emin captures intimate moments with an urgent, lyrical drawing style that speaks to universal experiences of love, loneliness, and desire. Her artistic approach transforms personal confessions into broader statements about human connection, with the nude figure serving as a powerful vehicle for exploring themes of intimacy and emotional truth.
