Grace Weaver

The long-limbed figures in the paintings of Brooklyn-based artist Grace Weaver exist “halfway between reality and fable,” depicted in vivid colour palettes of pink and red as they engage in everyday activities: painting their nails, braiding their hair, making avocado toast. In an age so concerned with “relatability,” Weaver’s paintings are playful and self-aware, resulting in work that is reflective of quotidian realities while avoiding cliché. This is the first monograph of her work.
