Emma Rose Schwartz

b. 1992

Emma Rose Schwartz was born in Toronto, Canada but grew up in Nashville, Tennessee. She received her BFA in 2014 from School of the Art Institute of Chicago and received her MFA in 2019 from Columbia University, New York. She currently lives and works in New York.

Schwartz’s paintings often feature ethereal, red-headed figures that are avatars or ‘fractals’ of the artist, and the agricultural buildings that were part of her familiar landscape growing up in the American south.

Schwartz has had solo exhibitions at In Lieu (Los Angeles), Annarumma Gallery (Naples), and Chapter NY (New York City) and has been included in recent group exhibitions at Derosia (New York City), Shoot the Lobster (New York City), Brunette Coleman (London), UNCLEBROTHER (Hancock, NY), Thierry Goldberg Gallery (New York City), Christian Anderson (Copenhagen), In Lieu (Los Angeles), Circle Contemporary (Chicago), FALSE FLAG (New York City), Y2K (New York City), among others. In 2019 she received the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation Venice Award.
