Emma Soucek
Emma Soucek (b. 1996, Long Beach, CA) lives and works in New York. The textural interplay of her painting comes in the form of pinched, spread, and pleated pigmented paper pulp. Soucek received her B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2018. She has taught workshops to New York schoolchildren through the New York-based non-profit Wide Rainbow. Soucek’s work was featured in a solo presentation at NADA Miami 2019 (Safe Gallery, Brooklyn, NY) and has been included in two-person and group exhibitions at: Safe Gallery, Brooklyn, NY; Loyal Gallery, Stockholm, SW; Marinaro, New York, NY; At Peace Gallery, Brooklyn, NY; Jenkins Johnson Gallery, Brooklyn, NY; and CANADA, New York, NY. Parrasch Heijnen held a solo exhibition with Soucek in the spring of 2021 and has an exhibition this fall. Soucek is represented by Parrasch Heijnen.
