Emma Haworth is a painter of the urban scene. Her art is built upon meticulous observation of the ebb and flow of modern metropolitan life in the streets, the parks, the squares of London, New York, Paris and other great cities: it is a constantly shifting drama of moving people and changing light, played out in a great arena that is both architectural and natural. In To Every Thing There is a Season, Emma shows us an overview of her oeuvre and working practices.
[Emma Haworths artwork] recalls late-medieval, early-Renaissance composition think of Piero di Cosimo, for instance although I am also reminded of Bruegels Hunters in the Snow. High praise, but not excessive, I think. Frank Whitford, The Sunday Times
