Modern Abstract: feminin
Featuring Emily Roan
=====
Emily Roan is a Visual Artist inspired by paradox, metamorphosis, and “The Butterfly Effect.” Roan’s work embodies abstraction as a language that communicates subtler, invisible spaces. These spaces she creates form a bridge between opposites such as chaos and pattern, time and infinity, as well as measurement and potential. With an emphasis on metamorphosis as a symbol that connects the physical and non-physical, she is focused on de-stigmatizing mental illness and embracing trauma or uncertainty as personal and collective fuel for transformation.

“In Chaos Theory, The Butterfly Effect essentially illustrates a field of possibilities; where small changes in seemingly insignificant and unassociated systems affect larger, more complex systems. Not only do they affect larger systems, but they dramatically influence the trajectory of their evolution. The contexts of our current social, emotional, and environmental landscapes provide insight about our inner worlds. Personally and collectively, not only do we want to see change, but we want to embody the power to influence change. We are Butterflies.”

Emily's work, among others, will be showcased here at Modis In The City through this September.

Special thanks to VacchianoArt and BRDG Project for organizing this special event.

“I believe paintings should attract the eye and convey feelings to the spectator that can be felt such as happiness, warmth, energy and memories. I love when the painting keeps the eye guessing allowing the viewer to discover a new detail, a significant meaning, or a new color guided by different lighting."

Peggy's work, among others, will be showcased here at Modis In The City through this September.
