Meaning & Analysis

Emin is an artist haunted by her past, and constantly refers to her troubled youth in her work. This has given her work a confessional quality, as it would seem the artist uses her work to confront and resolve traumas from the past. Within this work, Emin repeats the word “HADES” like a satanic mantra. Not only does this word denote the underworld of Greek mythology and Christian notions of hell, but Hades was also the name of a Margate nightclub Emin frequented during her troubled youth. Coupled with the crawling nude on the opposite panel and the curtain fabric background, this work presents an unsettling marriage between comfort and discomfort, sweet and sexual, innocence and experience.

  • 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).
