Painting, Oil on Canvas
Size: 48 W x 48 H x 1.5 D in
Emily Keyishian, originally from NYC/NJ area is an abstract painter and all around creative. Her work attempts to find her path in the world and the struggle of where she belongs on the earth. Her paintings allow the exploration into the uncertainty of not belonging and the vibration of the world in which she feels everything all at once and yet remains rootless. The language of abstraction helps her express her diaspora experience as an Ottoman Armenian and a Ukrainian Jew, trying to preserve culture within a world that wants to erase it.

Emily Keyishian was raised in New Jersey and New York City to a mixed family of Turkish Armenians and Ukrainian Jews. She has been creating professionally in NJ, NYC, and CA since 1997. She taps into the psychological with her work, delving into what is familiar: the dark, uneven spaces, the brambles, the chaos of nature, the fortunate accidents, the involuntary painting around us. She embraces being flexible to what unfolds on the canvas and allowing it to inform the flow of her work. For many years, she focused on female abstract forms, delving into her own history of family dysfunction to try and tame to make sense of it. The abstract works touch on the inner turmoil of things that seem to not belong, of being overgrown or out of place, relating to her own feelings of displacement and diaspora, being forced off or out and no longer having a native land. Being in the US and never feeling quite settled on either coast, she realized this was part of her need to understand that fitting in or losing oneself in that melting pot in is not the goal, that retaining our heritage our language is what keeps us rooted as best we can in a world where people are constantly being displaced because of forces outside their control. Working within these parameters to allow an explosion of color and light on the canvas to invite the viewer in to experience the many layers of what each piece brings.
