Over the past decade, artist Emma Kohlmann has harnessed the expressive possibilities of watercolor to develop an astonishing and intimate practice. In the resounding fluidity of her paintings, Kohlmann maps the lineaments and concavities of embodied moments with exquisite sensitivity, celebrating a sensuality freed from analysis and disabusing gender and the human body of their exhausted mythologies.
Emma Kohlmann (born 1989 in The Bronx) lives and works in Northampton, MA. Since receiving a B.A. from Hampshire College, she has gone on to exhibit extensively in the United States and internationally, including at Jack Hanley Gallery (New York, NY), V1 (Copenhagen, DK), and The Journal/Tennis Elbow (New York, NY). A frequent collaborator with artists, writers, musicians and designers on zines, clothing, and ephemera, she also co-founded and runs Mundus Press with her sister, Charlotte Kohlmann. This is her first book.
