Emily Nam's creative work

Emily Nam Studio | Interdisciplinary Art and Painting

Emily Nam Studio is an interdisciplinary art and design practice located in Brooklyn, New York, founded by research-based artist Emily Nam. The studio’s work is characterized by an inquiry into sensorial perception, utilizing an elastic vocabulary that incorporates oil painting, sound, textile, and ethnographic documentation. Emily Nam Studio explores the relationship between color and form, often through systems of experimentation that generate intuitive, geometric compositions. The studio's output includes large-scale oil on canvas works, charcoal drawings, and mixed media pieces that investigate how visual notations can transform visceral experiences of space. Emily Nam Studio has gained recognition for its sophisticated aesthetic, with projects featured in major global publications such as The New York Times, Vogue, and Dazed Korea. The practice also engages in collaborative projects across fashion and media, including music videos and editorial direction. Based in New York, the studio maintains an active presence in the contemporary art scene through exhibitions, open studio events, and the conversation series hosted by the founder. The studio continues to investigate the intersection of sensory experience and visual language.
