Meaning & Analysis

This sexually charged etching formed part of Emin’s White Cube exhibition Those Who Suffer Love. This particular work formed part of an animation of similar prints, which when played together brought to life the act of masturbation caught in each etching. When asked about her inspiration for the exhibition in an interview, Emin lamented that she felt “like I’m losing a lot of my sexual energy, or it doesn’t matter to me … I’m really frightened about this because sex is always what has gotten me up in the morning”. Through the exhibition in its entirety and works like Suffer Love II, Emin works through this fear by celebrating the sexual energy that has guided her through life.

  • 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).
