Emily Sall is a painter whose studio practice and work seek to transform the perception of space, references architecture and plays on geometric abstraction. There is a visual play between 2D and 3D hardedge paintings, mixed media assemblages, installation and murals.
She is interested in creating; shifting, mounting, teetering landscapes of tension, balance, imbalance and harmonious visual relationships. Emily considers herself to be a builder of these ideas. The results can often be surprising and rich as the work takes on a life of its own as chance an accidental play juxtaposed with intentional design move the work.
Emily received her BFA in painting from KCAI in 2005. She has shown both locally and nationally. In 2007 Emily was awarded the Charlotte Street Foundations Visual Artist Fellowship. Emily has been commissioned in the past to create artboards for Missouri Bank, public murals and commissioned paintings for establishments in KCMO.
