Emerald Repard-Denniston（出生于中国湖南）是一位视觉艺术家，工作和生活在在斯阔米什、温哥华Tsleil-Waututh Musqueam和多伦多特卡伦托。她是一位跨学科艺术家，热衷于绘画、数字媒体和行动主义工作。她拥有OCAD大学绘画学士学位，辅修艺术与社会变革（2022 年）。Emerald 是 Shoes Off Collective（艺术家运营的组合）的联合创始人和现任组织者/策展人，也是 The Plumb（DIY艺术家运营的项目）的成员。
Emerald目前的艺术实践围绕当代具象油画。通过她的实践，她描绘人物，让它能够在私人和公共场合讨论政治。她的作品通过女权主义酷儿的视角调查了中国独生子女政策的后遗症、代表性问题以及散居国外的故事。
Emerald创造了中间空间，让身体可以体验痛苦和快乐，重叠现实和梦境，让人可以悬浮在失去和恢复之间。她受到愤世嫉俗现实主义、超扁平主义和亚洲未来主义艺术运动的影响。
Emerald Repard-Denniston (Born in Hunan, China) is a visual artist based in Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh Musqueam/Vancouver, and Tkaronto/Toronto. She is a multidisciplinary artist drawn to painting, digital media, and activist work. She holds a BFA in Drawing and Painting from OCAD University with a Minor in Art and Social Change (2022). Emerald is the co-founder and current organizer/curator for the Shoes Off Collective (artist-run collective) and is a member of The Plumb (DIY artist-run project).
Emerald’s current art practice revolves around contemporary figurative oil painting. Through her practice, she paints the figure to allow it to negotiate the political in the private and public. Her work investigates the post-effects of China’s One Child Policy, issues of representation, and diasporic storytelling through a feminist queer lens.
Emerald creates middle-ground spaces where the body can experience both pain and pleasure, overlapping reality and dreamscape where one can be suspended between loss and reclamation. She is influenced by the art movements of cynical realism, super flat, and Asian futurism.
