Career

Upon graduation from Central Saint Martins in 1999 with a degree in graphic design,[3]  Emenius moved to Paris and worked in design for Kenzo, Adidas, Nike Nederland, and collaborated with British graphic designer Neville Brody.[6]  Emenius works primarily with painting, video, and sculpture and uses different mediums to express themes including portraiture, banality, anthropomorphism, kinetics, high & low culture, and the ritualistic behaviors of man in group.[7]  UK based publication 1 Granary speaks to his work as "an exploration of figuration and abstraction" in videos, paintings, sculptures and performances.[8] Inspired by the gesamtkunstwerk school of aesthetic, his work centers on the blending of individual components to create a whole, described by Xibit Magazine as "outlandish" and "eclectic".[9]  In 2018-2019 Emenius exhibited solo shows at Nikolaij Kunsthal,[10]  Art Busan,[11]  and Shin Gallery New York.[12]  Emenius has directed film for musicians Trentemøller[13] and August Rosenbaum.[14] Emenius, alongside designer Henrik Vibskov, co-created the acclaimed Vibskov & Emenius[15]  art ventures, The Fringe Projects,[16]  and The Circular Series,[17]  described by Dazed Magazine as a series of projects that go outside of the realm of fashion, touching on a variety of aspects such as performance, art installation, film, and even tapestry.[18]  Coverage of Emenius's work has been found in Galerie Magazine,[19] The New York Times,[20] Christies,[21] Vogue Italia,[22]  Purple Magazine,[23]  Nowness,[13]  The Fader,[24]  Hypebeast,[25] and The Korea Times.[26]

In 2014 Emenius co-founded the Nordic Contemporary gallery in Republique, Paris,[20]  as a platform to create long-term visibility for Nordic art, showcasing internationally the Nordic region's increasing importance in the global art scene.[2]
