Emily Furr (1978) is a New York based visual artist. Furr draws upon Precisionism, Surrealism, and Pop Art to make work that feels both timeless and profoundly timely. Her work examines human attempts to control the uncontrollable, producing disorienting images which insert intimately terrestrial objects into galactic star-scapes. Engaging themes of industrialism, transformation, and the cosmic void, Furr’s work speaks to the fragility of human exploits in comparison with the vastness of the universe.
Furr received her MFA from Hunter College, NY in 2018. Her work is in the permanent collection of the Orange County Museum of Art (Costa Mesa, CA) and the Denver Art Museum (Denver, CO). She has recently exhibited at 12.26 Gallery (Dallas, TX and Los Angeles, CA), Sargent’s Daughters (New York, NY and Los Angeles, CA), Rebecca Camacho (San Francisco, CA), Office Baroque (Antwerp, Belgium), O’Flaherty’s (New York, NY), Galerie Hussenot (New York, NY), amongst others; as well as being featured on the cover of New American Paintings’ 25th Anniversary Edition. She was an artist in residence at the Watermill Center (Watermill, NY) in 2019. In 2021, a solo exhibition of Furr’s work was presented at the SCAD Museum, Savannah, GA, curated by Ariella Wolens, assistant curator of SCAD exhibitions. Furr presented a solo booth of new works with Sargent’s Daughters at the Armory Show in 2022.
Her work has been reviewed in Artnet, Artforum, Hyperallergic, Burnaway, The New York Times, Time Out New York, amongst others. Furr is represented by Sargent’s Daughters. Her recent solo exhibition at Sargent’s Daughters Los Angeles, “Bombshell,” marked her debut Los Angeles presentation and her fourth solo exhibition with the gallery.
