Emily Ludwig Shaffer (b. 1988, San Francisco, USA) lives and works in New York, USA. She received an MFA from Columbia University, New York, USA, in 2017 and a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, USA, in 2010. Shaffer’s painting and drawing practice explores the psychological and spatial dimensions of interior and architectural environments, constructing uncanny domestic spaces in which perspective shifts and temporal conditions collapse. Her compositions frequently feature stone female figures inhabiting imagined interiors and garden-like settings, where day and night coexist and spatial logic becomes unstable. Through these carefully rendered environments, her work investigates themes of control, perception, and interiority, while reflecting on the symbolic and physical spaces shaped by women. Selected exhibitions include presentations at The Jewish Museum, New York, USA; Plains Art Museum, Fargo, USA; and Venus Over Manhattan, New York, USA, as well as solo exhibitions at Galerie Pact, Paris, France; Peres Projects, Berlin, Germany, and Milan, Italy; Institute 193, Lexington, USA; and Dio Horia, Mykonos, Greece. Her work has been featured in publications including The Brooklyn Rail, Elephant Magazine, and Numéro.
