Tracey Emin at White Cube Bermondsey review: this thrilling body of work shows the artist is as powerful as ever

Rage. Anguish. Heartache. Adoration. Obsession. Frustration. Love. There are few artists working today more able to translate universal emotions into the realm of the visible; more able to communicate deep feelings, than Tracey Emin. Sincerity can sometimes feel in short supply, but the painter – for that is now what she is, unequivocally, despite the quality of her earlier body of work – embodies it. 

She has no filter (in life either, in my limited but enjoyably unpredictable experience of interacting with her); her canvases are direct expressions of what’s going on in her heart – they are intimately personal, but instantly relatable.
