She lives in Brooklyn, New York, and works in the Bronx, New York. <a href=\"https:\/\/sebastiangladstone.com\/exhibitions\/68-emma-mcmillan-madam-butterfly-new-york\/\">Emma McMillan<\/a> searches for the pulsing vitality of life through non-human figurative paintings. Drawing, collage, macroscopic photography, and archival research are avenues for abstraction of the animal form. For several years a local Spotted Lanternfly infestation has been a commentary on the current state of human and animal affairs. The series, now expanded across species, takes on lusty and religious overtones of reincarnation. Sampling psychology, the natural world, and pop culture, her gem-hued oil paintings are complex reflections on living and its mutations across time. Emma McMillan has had institutional exhibitions at Atlanta Contemporary ArtsCenter, Atlanta Georgia, \u201cProject X\u201d (2019) She has had solo exhibitions at Sebastian Gladstone, New York, 2025, Sebastian Gladstone, Los Angeles, 2024, PhilippZollinger, Zurich, 2024, and a solo booth with PhilippZollinger at Liste Art Fair Basel, in June 2024. Other solo exhibitions include \u201cBleu de Prusse\u201d at Edouard Montassut, Paris, France (2019), \u201cOrnament and Crime\u201d at Lomex, New York City, New York (2018), and \u201cLive Burial\u201d at Bad Reputation Fine Arts, Los Angeles, California (2017). As well as select group and two-person exhibitions \u201cDiscard Phase\u201d at Triest, Brooklyn, New York (2021), \u201cDowntown Painting\u201d at Peter Freeman, New York City, New York (2019), \u201cResponsibility Fest\u201d at Kunstverien Braunschweig Wolfe Island, Canada (2019).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15468\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15468\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15468 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Emma-McMillan_0037-copy.jpeg?resize=696%2C928&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Emma-McMillan_0037-copy.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Emma-McMillan_0037-copy.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Emma-McMillan_0037-copy.jpeg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Emma-McMillan_0037-copy.jpeg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Emma-McMillan_0037-copy.jpeg?resize=696%2C928&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Emma-McMillan_0037-copy.jpeg?resize=1068%2C1424&amp;ssl=1 1068w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Emma-McMillan_0037-copy.jpeg?w=1553&amp;ssl=1 1553w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Emma-McMillan_0037-copy.jpeg?w=1392&amp;ssl=1 1392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15468\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Emma McMillan, Imago, 2025 Oil, oil pastel on linen 55&#8243; H x 42&#8243; W.
