British artist Emily Powell is a highly acclaimed, prominent and influential contemporary British artist who has spent nearly a decade turning her five-bedroom terraced home in Brixham, Devon into a contemporary floor-to-ceiling artwork, hand-painting every wall, room, surface and even the furniture, over two floors.
The collection is a significant art investment at an early stage in the artist’s career. Emily has had solo shows at The Portland Gallery, delivered a sell-out talk at the Royal Academy of Arts this past month and was recently featured in The Telegraph.
Spanning 1,712 sq ft across three floors, the 5 bedroom, mid-terraced house effectively functions as a single, continuous canvas. It is one of the first known instances in the UK of a lived-in home, hand-painted in its entirety by the artist being offered for sale as a complete, immersive artwork.
The property is being presented as a fine art acquisition and a rare opportunity for a private buyer to own an entire domestic-scale artwork, with the furniture and artworks inside treated as a unified collectible piece. A highly unusual arrangement.
Emily Powell has also committed to maintaining the work after the sale, refreshing and hand painting every ten years for the rest of her life for the future owner - something uniquely additional to the sale of the house.
There will be 20 pieces of painted furniture and 65 private artwork encapsulating the first 10 years of Emily's work, included in the sale.
