Back of House Art Print

Back of House Art Print - By Emily Cowan

The backs of buildings are not seen as often by the general population, but those who live within are intimately familiar with them.  The parking garages, dumpsters and adjoining businesses are at the back so the front can present its good looks to strangers; the residents know and love these spaces, perhaps because they are not “public”.

More About the Artist:

Emily Cowan is a self-taught painter working primarily in acrylic gouache. Her work centers on houses, apartments, and domestic interiors, using architectural forms and meticulous detail work to explore themes of personal narrative, feminism, and the emotional weight and global injustice of the housing crisis. Rooted in personal longing and social critique, her paintings are both homage and protest—depicting homes she admires but will never be able to own.  Every building she paints is a real building somewhere, based on her own photography.  After years exploring illustration, comics, photography and collage, she began painting in 2021 and has since exhibited in galleries and artist-run spaces across Vancouver and the BC Lower Mainland.
