Emily Kraus’s solo exhibition at Frieze presents a series of glitchy, digitally inspired paintings that disrupt traditional notions of aesthetic authority. The works employ pixelated distortions and vibrant color fields to question the boundaries between digital error and artistic intention, drawing attention to the role of technology in contemporary art-making.
This exhibition matters because it engages with ongoing debates about the impact of digital culture on visual art, challenging viewers to reconsider what constitutes artistic skill and authority in an age of algorithmic influence. Kraus’s work resonates with broader conversations about the intersection of technology, perception, and aesthetic value, making it a timely contribution to current art discourse.
