plant
In her paintings, prints and murals Emmerich plays with forms of exoticism and orientalism .
The curator Ruba Katrib wrote about Emmerich's work and its diverse cultural references:
“ Curvy, sensual and unabashed lines characterize many of Hadassah Emmerich's drawings, murals and linocuts. “Exotic” and “female” images - flowers, vines, fruits, female bodies and faces - populate her pictures and installations, in which male figures like Paul Gauguin and King Sigismund II appear from time to time. Literature, from Gauguin biographies to the books of the British-Pakistani author Hanif Kureishi and the contemporary Indonesian feminist Ayu Utami , appear in their works as text that is embedded in complex pictorial compositions.
