Emily Joyce: RGBs and See I’m Okays | Project Room

11 March - 9 April 2022

Overview

The text itself references poetry written by Joyce during the darkest days of lockdown solitude, where painting temporarily ceased. Through her transportive and at times melancholic poetry, Emily Joyce sets a cautiously optimistic tone.

Evocative in imagery and language, Joyce balances the personal and cathartic against the potential of subjective interpretation. Humor and tempo are touchstones of Emily Joyce's artistic sensibility, which she uses to create visual rhythm across works. Combining moments of visual abstraction with poetics, RGBs and See I'm Okays represents Joyce's alchemic abilities, as she divulges her own illuminated manuscripts, translated into conceptually manifold paintings.
