Current Exhibit:

Emily Krill

Emily Krill is a Pittsburgh-based artist known for large-scale collages constructed from 19th- and 20th-century paper. Working with ledgers, letters, manuals, blueprints, and discarded documents, she builds layered compositions that bring together figures, objects, landscapes, and abstract forms. Her work explores memory not as nostalgia, but as material, something handled, altered,  and carried forward. 

Krill's process begins with collecting historical paper that bears handwringing, strains, stamps, and marks of use. These materials are ink-washed, cut, layered, and reassembled into carefully structured compositions. Fragments of text and pattern remain visible, allowing each work to carry traces of its previous life while forming a new visual language. 

ZYNKA Gallery is honored to work with Emily and is proud to present her work at The Portal.

About the Exhibit

What Remains presents new large-scale collages by Emily Krill made from 19th- and 20th-century paper. Figures, objects, and abstract forms emerge through layers of color and pattern, holding traces of memory, labor, and everyday life. The work invites viewers to slow down and consider what endures.

Artist Statement

My work begins with a love of paper ephemera and the stories it carries. I use antique materials to build large collages that feel fresh, colorful, and full of life. These fragments once served mundane everyday purposes. Now they become part of a new image and a new story.

I am interested in how history lingers in ordinary things. A single piece of paper once held real value. A railroad share could feed a family. A handwritten lesson once marked a child’s progress. When these scraps find their way into my work, they bring their past with them. I like the idea that something forgotten can become meaningful again.

Gavin is a multifaceted artist who combines original analog photography and appropriated images with collage, paint, varnish, and crystals to create rich and luxurious works that call back to baroque traditions while incorporating elements of current culture to provoke, critique, and explore.

Thomas creates vibrant abstract paintings that invite the audience to explore the complex nature and seemingly endless flow of color and form. An artist must find meaning in the process, and Bigatel’s unorthodox, inventive approach to the process of painting results in compelling and convincing works of art.
