The show opens to the public this Thursday night, and the gallery are overwhelmed with pre-sale interest already, so if you would like to have first pick of the amazing array of artists work on offer please contact Paige Prendergast fast!

SAVE THE CHICKENS!
Chickens are a subject very, very close to Emma's heart, and she would like to reccomend the work of Little Hen Rescue to everybody! They are a not-for-profit organisation which works to rescue and rehome hard working ex-battery farm girls and give them the happy retirement they deserve.
Perhaps you have some space and could offer a new home to some hens, or if you don't have room you could easily sponsor one of their residents via paypal. Maybe you could volunteer to help there, or even offer a home to one of their Special hens. Click below to find out how you could help! Thank you : )

UP CLOSE AT SIGNAL GALLERY
Emma Tooth presents a selection of brand new works from her forthcoming series, Scenes From a Breaking Art at her first group show at London's Signal Gallery. The show is entitled Up Close. Joining her in this "3 man show" (?) will be fellow figurative artists Caroline Burraway and Andy Kinsman.
The show has been selected by FirstThursdays.co.uk as one of June's 'must see' exhibitions: "Up Close will showcase three very different approaches to portraiture. All three artists will present intense and powerful work, with a considerable amount of technical brilliance and emotional power. This show demonstrates that the art figuration is not dead, but alive and kicking in Hoxton. "

THE CAPTIVE IS UNLEASHED!
Emma's new painting, The Captive, Commissioned by Derby Museum and Art Gallery for their permanent collection was unveiled last night at the Museum's re-opening with Red Or Dead's Wayne Hemingway.
Read the new short interview with Emma up at Sour Harvest.
As part of their Joseph Wright Festival and his 275th birthday celebrations and as part of the "Cultural Olympiad" in 2012, Derby Museum and Art Gallery commissioned the new work to be unveiled alongside their newly-refurbished Joseph Wright gallery on February 23rd 2012.
Following her dual exhibition with Joseph Wright in 2010, the Museum were keen to add a piece of Emma's work to their collection. They asked for something along the lines of her Concilium Plebis work, but responding specifically to the Museum's world-class Wright collection.

EMMA TOOTH: SHINING STAR OF THE NIGHT!
Thinkspace gallery's massive new group show, Picks of the Harvest, is now open! Emma accompanied her paintings to the USA and had a great reception. HiFructose.com said:
"The shining star of the night was UK based artist Emma Tooth. Known for depicting extraordinary people in traditional settings, Tooth presented three oil paintings from her 'Concilium Plebis' series portraying urbanites in a chiaroscuro setting reminiscent of the old masters."
...and we think that's a jolly nice review : ) See the rest of the article here.
The gallery (and indeed the street outside!) was totally packed out on the opening night. To see all the art check out the Facebook photogallery, the Flickr photogallery and the video below from Jackson Arcade:

BAD TASTE CRU - TRIBAL ASSEMBLY
Emma Tooth with Bad Taste Cru dancer, Raw B
They created a piece called Council Of The Ordinary based on Emma's Concilium Plebis paintings and performed it on the opening night of her show. Their astonishing performance appears in full on Emma's DVD, Extraordinary Portraits of Ordinary People and has since appeared at Breakin Convention London, San Francisco Hip Hop Festival, and in Trafalgar Square Arts Festival.
The show was so successful in pushing the bounadries of what breakdance can do, Bad Taste Cru were commissioned by street arts consortium Without Walls to develop a sequel: Tribal Assembly (Comitia Tributa) featuring the same archetypal British street characters originally inspired by Emma Tooth's paintings. More info and videos of the show here.

MORECAMBE WINTER GARDENS
May we present to you a beautiful new set of photographs shot on location at the magical Morecambe Winter Gardens, a collaboration between Emma and Owen Tooth.
The Winter Gardens derelict theatre is said to be haunted and may even posess it's very own portal in the basement. They even host regular ghost walks for individuals and TV shows with a taste for the macabre, but Emma reports that she felt extremely welcome there and right at home and even said that she felt the old theatre was pleased to see a lady in a ball gown again after so many lonely decades.
