Emily Cavender is an upcoming surrealist who loves work rooted in the imagination. Her work is by no means realistic and throughout her oeuvre she tends to push the boundaries of reality. This is reflected through emphasized proportions, bold emotions, and everything opposite of realism. She loves to work with the aspects of dimensions, color, and movement through fluid and colorful depictions of recognizable but warped iconography that blends into the slime-like designs. These works are reflective of her going through moments and emotions universal to everybody. The expressions and feelings are depicted by her use of surrealism to further the idea to bring back more modernist art instead of continuing down the current trend of realism as the abstract is more interesting to look at and better expresses these complex ideas.
For the most part, her work consists of two-dimensional art; however, she has recently started to delve into working three dimensionally through fashion design, digital fabrication, and sculpture. She aims to make more interactive artwork and installations in the future. Emily believes that art, and creativity should be available to everyone, not just high-end buyers. Her work continues to allow the viewers to participate in art rather than just look at it and encourage the roots of creativity in everyone.
