Pixies bassist Emma Richardson opens solo painting show
DFace News
Emma Richardson, who joined the art rockers Pixies in 2024 as their bassist and singer, is currently showing her own large-scale paintings in a new exhibition titled Hotwire My Heart. Her vivid oil canvases depict scenes that viewers describe as resembling nebulae, explosions, or baroque orgies, and she enjoys hearing people interpret her work like Rorschach tests. Richardson says her fascination with transcendence in painting is partly shaped by her parallel life as a musician, having previously played in the garage-rock trio Band of Skulls. The show connects two creative worlds, suggesting that the same energy that drives her on stage also fuels her visual art.
