Emily Harter is an interdisciplinary artist who makes paintings, drawings, prints, and ceramics. Recurring themes like hunting scenes and processions organize dense multi-figural images that foreground errors, delusions, perversity, and jokes. Influenced by Netherlandish genre painting, satirical broadsides, and the Golden Age of American cartoons, her work interrogates how the study of images from the past can be used to understand and organize an effective experience of the present. Harter’s work has been shown throughout the United States, including solo exhibitions at Hesse Flatow (New York), OCHI Projects OVR (Los Angeles), and Cleaner Gallery (Chicago). She has been a resident artist at The Lighthouse Works (Fisher’s Island, NY), Arts, Letters, and Numbers (Averill Park, NY), and After 1920 (San Diego). Awards include the Cadogan Scholarship and the 2020 Travel Grant from the Mid-America Print Council. She has published etchings with Hoofprint Studios (Chicago) and Bohemian Press at the University of Minnesota. In 2020, she co-founded Pigeon Hole Press in Chicago, which produces and publishes fine art intaglio prints. Harter holds a BA in Studio Art and Art History from Oberlin College and is currently pursuing an MFA in Art Practice at Stanford University. She lives in San Francisco.
