Career edit

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.[7]  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.[8]  UK based publication 1 Granary speaks to his work as "an exploration of figuration and abstraction" in videos, paintings, sculptures and performances.[9] 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".[10]  In 2018-2019, Emenius exhibited solo shows at Nikolaij Kunsthal,[11]  Art Busan,[12]  and Shin Gallery New York.[13]  Emenius has directed film for musicians Trentemøller[14] and August Rosenbaum.[15] Emenius, alongside designer Henrik Vibskov, co-created the acclaimed Vibskov & Emenius[16]  art ventures, The Fringe Projects,[17]  and The Circular Series,[18]  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.[19]  Coverage of Emenius's work has been found in Phillips Auction House,[20] Galerie Magazine,[21] The New York Times,[22] Christies,[23] Vogue Italia,[24]  Purple Magazine,[25]  Nowness,[14]  The Fader,[26]  Hypebeast,[27] and The Korea Times.[28]

In 2014 Emenius co-founded the Nordic Contemporary gallery in Republique, Paris,[22]  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]
