In her fourth exhibition for White Cube, Tracey Emin returns to London with a display of new work that is sure to provoke both controversy and acclaim.

With a collection of explicit drawings and an erotic animation at the centre of the exhibition, the show promises to be a powerful and intense experience.

Describing the exhibition, Emin says, "This show is essentially a drawings show. Everything is simple and linear, straight to the point"

"I'm constantly fighting with the notion of love and passion. Love, sex, lust – in my heart and mind there is always some battle, some kind of conflict."

Born in London in 1963, Emin studied at the Royal College of Art in London, and along with Damien Hirst, became a leading figure in the Britart movement of the 1990s.

No stranger to controversy, Emin is one of Britain's most influential artists. She shot to fame in 1999 when she was shortlisted for the Turner Prize for My Bed.

Owned and run by the art dealer Jay Jopling, White Cube was established in 1993 as a project room for contemporary art.
