Ella Emhoff is Platform's Latest Art Curator
Actress, designer and model Ella Emhoff takes the reins as Platform’s guest curator, with a 52-piece selection by 21 artists, including the likes of Nicole McLaughlin, Alfonso Gonzalez Jr., Hannah Lupton Reinhard and Mia Scarpa. Launched in 2021, the David Zwirner-backed art shop has shown to be a promising space for emerging talent from a spectrum of creative disciplines.The selection, which includes a pair of knit portraits from the curator’s oeuvre, encompasses painting, sculpture and textile, with many occupying a space in between mediums. Spanning Lindsey Lou Howard’s tongue-in-cheek spin on consumer goods, the frosted borders of Justin Hager’s romantic compositions, and Spencer Harris’ meme-inspired commentary on memory, each piece reflects Emhoff’s eclectic and post-ironic flair.“Whether I’ve been following them online for years or have only recently discovered them, they all represent the kind of art that excites me and has been inspiring me: weird, humorous, a little unsettling and overall, it leaves you feeling a bit lighter after engaging with it," Emhoff expressed.Head to Platform’s website for more information on the selection, and check out the full list of featured artists below:Adam ShrewsburyAlfonso Gonzalez Jr.Darren RomanelliDiana Didi RojasElla EmhoffHannah Lupton ReinhardJanie KornJustin HagerL.
