About the Item
Grounded in her unique aesthetic, often paired with Renaissance art historical references, Joyce’s practice features highly trained skill matched by wit.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. In Well Beth (2021), deep reds and radiant fuchsia contrast against violet and neon yellow in a nearly symmetrical composition that invokes femininity alongside measured geometry. 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 SunBy Emily JoyceLocated in Denver, CODavid 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...Category
