Emmy Star Brown’s Vivid Murals Channel Youthfulness and Play

Vibrant, amorphous shapes intersect with squiggles and occasional geometric lettering in the murals of Chicago-based artist Emmy Star Brown. She describes her studio practice as a space where her inner child emerges, paring down her expressions to formal qualities of line, shape, and contrast. In her large-scale installations on urban buildings, which draw on her background in visual communications and advertising, both interior and exterior surfaces transform into energetic, edge-to-edge romps of color.

Brown’s work is currently on view alongside that of Danym Kwon in The Peace of Wild Things at Joy Machine. See more on the artist’s Instagram.
