Exhibitions

Art-O-Rama / Brigitte Mulholland
Fluid Encounters
Marseille, August - 2024

Titled Fluid Encounters, Emily presents a series of stages evoking the passage of time, such as the raw material from which a sculpture is produced and the body is a tactile organic form that evolves through a series of transformations.

Brigitte Mulholland
Moulding Extensions
Paris, November 2024

The title of the show conjures the artist’s sculptural process. Manipulation, invention and interpretation of the inanimate clay catalyses distinctive yet enigmatic forms that evolve from fleshy bacterial-like matter into raw animalistic subjects writhing in a state of flux before arriving into fully formed surrealist chimeras.

AM/PM
61/
London, March 2025

‘Attempting to plot a chronological journey brings us first to Emily Orte. Her ceramic creations seem to be inhabitants of ancient swamps, perhaps a short ancestral distance from the first multicellular forms.

Arts Brussels / Brigitte Mulholland
Duo show with Sarah Dwyer and Emily Orta
Brussels,  April 2025

From different generations and backgrounds, both artists create lush work in vibrant colours. Stray limbs emerge from their compositions, blurring the lines of abstraction and figuration. Dwyer's broad brush strokes and mark-making, as if dancing with the canvas, mirror the way Orta likewise builds and glazes her sculptures with intense physicality and the whole of her body.

Portfolio

emily@studio-orta.com
@emlyortaEmily Orta is an Anglo-Argentine artist born and based in Paris. She explores the fragility and transformation of living organisms through ceramics, a medium she diverts to question the boundaries between the animate and the inanimate, the real and the imaginary. Inspired by biological processes, evolution, and hybrid forms, she shapes organic entities that oscillate between abstraction and figuration, evoking bodies in mutation and contemporary chimeras.

After a university exchange in fashion history and analog photography at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York (2019), she earned a degree in Communication Art & Design from Nottingham Trent University (2021). This trajectory informs the development of a practice rooted in technical experimentation with the material and research centered on the body. These experiences shape an approach to ceramics that is both intuitive and experimental. She develops her own glazes and firing protocols to explore the material’s physical limits and achieve ambiguous textures.

Her sculptural practice unfolds through series conceived as fragments of a vital cycle, inviting a sensory contemplation of the metamorphoses of the living.
