The first survey of Emma Kohlmann's playfully otherworldly and resolutely, thrillingly free works of art. Features a decade's worth of astonishing and intimate watercolors as well as essays by Audrey Wollen, L.D. Deutsch, and Mark Iosifescu.
Kohlmann has harnessed the expressive possibilities of watercolor to develop an astonishing and intimate practice celebrating a sensuality freed from analysis and disabusing gender and the human body of mythologies. Containing hundreds of selections from 2011 to 2021, during which Kohlmann crafted countless works on paper using sumi-e ink washes and other techniques, This is a survey of an artist working intuitively to generate representative possibilities that are playfully otherworldly and resolutely, thrillingly free.
