emet ezell (b. 1995, Texas, USA) is a research-based artist living and working in Berlin, Germany. Trained in the studio of Polish typographer Robert Sawa, ezell engages the letter as the visceral and tactile unit of composition. In addition to prints, the artist makes paper by hand, combining natural materials with minimalist design.

Their creative work has been generously supported by the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, the European Commission for Culture and Creativity, the Berlin Senate, Pedvāle Open Air Art Museum, Vermont Studio Center, and Djerassi Resident Artist’s Program, among many others. Winner of the 2021 Gloria E. Anzaldúa Poetry Prize, ezell’s writing has been featured in The American Poetry Review, Los Angeles Review of Books, Hand Papermaking Magazine, and VORTEXT, and their poems have been translated into Latvian, German, Hebrew, and Polish.

ezell’s solo-exhibition, entitled “Destruction Is and Is Not Forever,” debuted last summer at the Sabile Arts and Culture Center in Latvia. They are a 2026 New Jewish Culture Fellow.

The artist does not use social media. Occasional updates can be found on their newsletter.
