Meaning & Analysis

This endearing etching was exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition of the same year. True to the eclectic and experimentational tone of the RA’s annual exhibition, Emin’s etching has a distinctively playful quality to be enjoyed by all viewers: young and old. Like Much of Emin’s work, there is a sense of childlike wonder in Space Monkey as the artist encourages her viewers to view the world through the joyful and naive eyes of a child.

  • Tracey Emin, born in 1963, stands as a fearless provocateur in the contemporary art scene. A trailblazer of the Young British Artists (YBA) movement in the late 1980s, the artist has sparked conversation and controversy for decades. Confronting themes of love, trauma and femininity with great vulnerability, Emin's work is a visceral tapestry of her life and has forged an intimate dialogue between artist and audience. In 1999, this raw approach to storytelling won her a nomination to the Turner Prize and, in 2007, it got her a coveted spot as a Royal Academician at the Royal Academy of Arts (RA).
