About the Item

David B. Smith Gallery is pleased to present "RGBs and See I’m Okays," Los Angeles-based artist Emily Joyce’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. Presented in the gallery’s project room, "RGBs and See I’m Okays" features new paintings on paper and panel. Grounded in her unique aesthetic, often paired with Renaissance art historical references, Joyce’s practice features highly trained skill matched by wit. In "RGBs and See I’m Okays," Joyce’s carefully formed cursive script curls throughout each work, in what the artist considers a sentimental gesture to the viewer. 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 Emily Joyce’s alchemic abilities, as she divulges her own illuminated manuscripts, translated into conceptually manifold paintings.

  • Unconquered Sun
    By Emily Joyce
    Located in Denver, CO
    David B. Smith Gallery is proud to present "Then Where Sun When There", a solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist Emily Joyce. In her first solo exhibition with the gallery, Joyce presents a new body of paintings that playfully synthesizes the languages of contemporary abstraction and mathematics. Reaching across centuries of human accomplishment to artists and thinkers who initially identified sacred geometric patterns and systems, inspiration for Joyce flips between the immediate and ancient. Artists such as Renaissance painter Piero della Francesa and American Modernist Georgia O’Keeffe lend their palate and soft-spoken spirituality to Joyce’s work, often leading to a humorous blend of logic and liveliness. Treated as both articulation of the soul and basis of concrete logic, geometry’s universality transcends culture and time. In modern times this principal is often understood through complex systems, some invisible and some manifested as conspicuously as the grid of a city. These everyday patterns, frequently muddled by human design...
