Grace Weaver “11 Women”

James Cohan (52 Walker St.)

This event has ended.

James Cohan presents 11 Women, an exhibition of new paintings by Grace Weaver.

For her third exhibition at James Cohan, Weaver has created eleven paintings of monumentally-scaled women. Expressively executed in thick oil paint, the figures are arrested mid-stride as they navigate the hazards of city streets, their dynamic limbs rendered in pink against asphalt grounds. At once heroic and awkward, sturdy yet precarious, brutal but tender, her subjects contend with what it is to be a woman moving through—and taking up—space.
