Green World

Emma Scully Gallery is pleased to present 'Green World', featuring works by Amadour, Jenny Hata Blumenfield, Ebitenyefa Baralaye, James Cherry, Meritxell Duran, Brecht Wright Gander, Dana Harel, Jaye Kim, Alex Kovacs (Boy Ceramics), Lucia Massari, Jenny Min, Walter Mingeldorf, Isabel Rower, Pam Sabroso, Tellurico, and Kaja Upelj.

The 'Green World', comes from a term coined by literary critic Northrop Frye to describe the forest as a metaphorical place of nature and transformation in literature. The Green World serves as a landscape of creativity, desire, magic, and liberation, where characters in literature escape the constraints of civilization to experience growth and change.

The sculptures on display will showcase the imagination and wildness of the forest, depicting each piece as both a character and an object, animated and humorous, with a human-like quality. Through this exhibition, we celebrate the Green World as a place of unconstrained creativity and invite viewers to consider the transformative power of nature as portrayed in literature.

About

Emma Scully Gallery

Emma Scully Gallery champions cutting edge contemporary collectible design. Located in a 19th Century townhouse on the Upper East Side, we present challenging work in a rich historic context. We represent and support the work of groundbreaking living artists, designers, and craftspeople. Critical to the gallery’s mission is the exhibition program where new work is commissioned around conceptual themes. This intellectual backbone of our collection, resulting from years of exhibition, is the question of how to deal with the challenges of creating for the today’s material society: the landscape of superabundance, the ecological cost of overproduction and the shift from the physical to the digital world. In promoting equity the gallery recognizes the need to facilitate production in order to support the broadest range of talent in the design community. The gallery therefore acts as manufacturer for a portion of the collection work.
