Emily Coan (b. 1991, St. Petersburg, FL) is an artist based in the Hudson Valley, NY. In 2013, she received her BFA in Sculpture from the University of Florida and moved to New York City in 2015. Compositionally complex, multilayered oil paintings are the vehicle for Coan’s storytelling, conjuring a world where female protagonists confront femininity, womens’ labor, and power. The work is set in fairytale-esque environments inspired by the Hudson Valley. In 2024, Coan presented her fourth solo exhibition in New York and her first with DIMIN titled “Spider Silk”, featured in Interview Magazine and T Magazine. Coan’s work has also been featured in Artnet, Whitewall, New American Paintings, and Playboy. In 2025, Coan presented work at the Ponds Society, Shanghai; and a solo exhibition at A Long Story Short, Paris. She was a resident at the Palazzo Monti, Brescia, Italy (2024), and has participated in group exhibitions at DIMIN, New York; Nino Mier, New York; Monya Rowe Gallery, New York; De Boer, Los Angeles; Gowen Contemporary, Geneva, Switzerland; and Kutlesa, Goldau, Switzerland.
