Gyan Shrosbree Returns to Two Coats Residency with Fashion-Inflected Painting Practice
Gyan Shrosbree will be participating in the Two Coats of Paint Artist Residency from May 5 to May 10, 2026, at 22-19 41st Avenue, Studio #10, Long Island City, New York, with an open studio event scheduled for May 6. Her artistic style merges clothing with modernist painting, often working alongside her mother for fashion show exhibitions. Shrosbree brings an intersectional feminist lens to her art, using humor and a unique flattened pictorial space. Notable recent works include "Drama Queen" and "Wall of Shirts," both from 2025. She holds a B.F.A. from Kansas City Art Institute and an M.F.A. from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Look for her upcoming exhibition "Gladiatrix" on April 25, 2026, and solo shows planned for 2027.
