Edward Emery BUYER BEWARE at Wrong Marfa for Chinati Weekend.
Wrong is pleased to host a second exhibition by San Francisco artist Edward Emery. The opening for BUYER BEWARE will be Thursday, October 9, 5-7 pm at 110 N Highland Ave in beautiful downtown Marfa.
Edward Emery visited Marfa in 2010 with his father and twin sister when he was 11 years old. They were on a summer road trip and on their way back to California. Edward became fascinated with Marfa and upon doing a deep dive came across the 2013 “60 Minutes” episode about Marfa. In that episode he learned about Marfa artist Camp Bosworth and became obsessed with Camp’s work, even doing a miniature model of a gold revolver.
After graduating from college in Scotland with a political science degree, Emery decided to pursue an art career. He contacted Bosworth through Instagram and asked to do a studio visit when he visited the town again. Bosworth took a look at Emery’s work on Instagram and invited him to have a show at Wrong. The first exhibition in February 2024 was a sold out show.
Emery is a self taught painter and woodcarver whose work focuses on people and the scenery of everyday life in the United States. Growing up in San Francisco, he was heavily influenced by the city’s vibrant history of street art and underground comics; thus, his portraits frequently combine whimsy and storytelling with a style that oscillates between realism and caricature.
Emery says of his work, “It serves as a form of visual record keeping; it documents the various spaces in my life and the multitude of characters that inhabit them.”
Emery’s BUYER BEWARE runs through November.
Everyone is invited to the opening. The Wrong Bar will have drink specials available.
is pleased to welcome Edward Emery back for another exhibition of new paintings. BUYER BEWARE opens October 9, 5-7 pm in beautiful downtown Marfa
