British artist Em Cooper has carved a unique niche within the international art community through a mesmerizing fusion of traditional oil painting and cinematic storytelling. Based in the United Kingdom and born in Cambridge, this visionary creator first began focusing on the intersection of fine art and film during her undergraduate studies, later refining her signature approach at the Royal College of Art and Sheffield Hallam University. For collectors of limited edition art prints and posters, the work of Em Cooper represents a rare bridge between the tactile depth of physical paint and the fluid energy of the moving image, a technique she often refers to as choreographing the paint.

As a contemporary artist in the truest sense, she utilizes her mastery of oil on celluloid to explore the sensory experience of being alive, creating works that resonate deeply with those who appreciate meticulous craftsmanship. Significant accomplishments include winning the Grammy Award for Best Music Video in 2024 for her direction of The Beatles masterpiece I am Only Sleeping, a project that required over 1,300 individual hand painted frames. This achievement solidified her status as a powerhouse in the global creative scene, following a previous Emmy nomination for her stunning animation sequences in the PBS documentary Deej.

Collectors seeking high end posters and rare prints often look for the evocative stills from her most famous pieces, such as the dreamlike sequences in I am Only Sleeping or the visceral imagery found in her short films Laid Down and Confusion of Tongues. Her participation in prestigious art shows and gallery exhibitions includes installations at the Turner Contemporary in Margate, where she showcased the immersive audio visual project Emergence, and screenings at the Freud Museum in London and the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. These showcases highlight her ability to transform traditional mediums into avant garde experiences that capture the fleeting nature of memory and thought.

For those in the poster collector community, her recent collaboration with Avant Arte has brought her distinctive style into the realm of physical editions, offering limited releases like Early in the Morning and In the Middle of a Dream. These archival quality prints allow enthusiasts to own a piece of the meticulous process that defines her filmography. She remains dedicated to an intuitive method of working the paint that avoids digital shortcuts. This commitment to the physical medium ensures that every piece of art by this British talent carries a sense of permanence and prestige, making her work a highly sought after addition to any serious collection of modern limited edition prints.
