FLORENCE BLANCHARD

Florence Blanchard is a French painter, muralist and screen printer based in the UK. Blanchard began writing graffiti in the early 1990’s under the name Ema, and spent ten years based in New York where she graduated with a PhD in molecular genetics from New York University. Her work is directly inspired by her past experience working as a scientist and writing graffiti and depicts abstracts molecular landscapes questioning our idea of visual perception. During lockdown, Blanchard has been revisiting her 90’s hip hop roots and creating works in homage to tracks from that era that have inspired her.
