Grace Weaver - The long-legged figures in the artist's paintings
Brooklyn-based Grace Weaver (born 1989) exists "halfway between the
reality and fable," depicted in vibrant color palettes of pink and
red while they engage in everyday activities: painting their
nails, braiding hair, making avocado toast. They hurry
against the edges of the large canvases on which they are painted, as if
their liveliness was barely contained by the two-dimensional medium of
acrylic and oil. \n \nAt a time when there is so much concern with the idea
"identification," Weaver's paintings are playful and self-aware
self-worth, resulting in work that reflects everyday realities
while avoiding clichés. Distinctly contemporary and resolutely feminine,
Weaver magnifies the small moments of modern life and imbues them with a
unique emotional depth. \n \nAfter Weaver's work was
presented in solo exhibitions in two German institutions,
Kunstpalais Erlangen and Oldenburger Kunstverein, with great success, the
museums collaborated in the publication of the artist's first monograph.
