Art Calendar, 18 November 2022

New York sensation Anna Weyant has been showing her debut "Baby, It Ain't Over Till It's Over" of new paintings and drawings at Gagosian since 3 November 2022. Art critics have described her story as a modern art fairy tale. Her works have a beauty, aesthetics and maturity rarely seen in artists so young. Her precisely rendered scenes feature mostly young and female figures in tragicomic stories with an ironic twist.

Düsseldorf, 18 November 2022: The New York sensational artist Anna Weyant shows her debut "Baby, It Ain't Over Till It's Over" with new paintings and drawings at Gagosian since 3 November. Admirers of her art are in for a treat as she shows seven new paintings and ten new drawings.

Art critics have described her story as a modern art fairy tale. The South China Morning Post described Anna Weyant as a "thousand-year-old Botticelli". What is certain is that the works of the 27-year-old artist have already fetched 1.6 million dollars at auction. Since May, Anna Weyant has been represented by the New York gallery Gagosian and she is their youngest artist.

Her works have a beauty, aesthetics and maturity rarely seen in artists so young. Her precisely rendered scenes feature mostly young and female figures in tragicomic stories with an ironic twist. In doing so, she provides a dreamy insight into popular culture; the pictures show gestures, rituals of femininity that she distorts.

Weyant took the title of the exhibition "Baby, It Ain't Over Till It's Over" from a song by Lenny Kravitz - who in turn took the quote from Yogi Berra. In this series, Weyant shows her paintings with aspects of the American milieu and media landscape, and she shows them with the utmost accuracy and intensity.

Biography:

Weyant was born in Calgary, Canada in 1995. After receiving her BFA degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design, she moved to New York and went on to study painting at the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou. Upon her return to New York, she worked as a studio assistant while continuing to paint. Among her first exhibited works is a series of canvases depicting a doll's house - modelled on one she owned as a child - and its young inhabitants. In her still lifes, Weyant depicts fruits, flowers and other objects in a rather disquieting light.

In her works, Weyant tends to use a sombre, muted colour palette of deep greens, dusty pinks and deep blacks. She also finds her inspiration from 17th century Dutch masters.

Düsseldorf, 18. November 2022: Die New Yorker Sensationskünstlerin Anna Weyant zeigt ihr Debüt „Baby, It Ain't Over Till It's Over“ mit neuen Gemälden und Zeichnungen bei Gagosian seit dem 3. November. Bewunderer Ihrer Kunst werden sich freuen, denn sie zeigt sieben neue Gemälde und zehn neue Zeichnungen.

———

Von Kunstkritikern wird ihre Geschichte als modernes Kunstmärchen beschrieben. Von der South China Morning Post wurde Anna Weyant als "tausendjähriger Botticelli“ bezeichnet. Fest steht, dass die Werke der 27-jährigen Künstlerin bei einer Auktion bereits 1,6 Millionen Dollar erzielten. Seit Mai wird Anna Weyant von der New Yorker Galerie Gagosian vertreten und sie ist deren jüngste Künstlerin.

Ihre Werke haben eine Schönheit, Ästhetik und Reife, die es selten bei so jungen Künstlern gibt. In ihren präzise wiedergegebenen Szenen sind die meist jungen und weiblichen Figuren in tragikomischen Geschichten mit ironischem Einschlag inszeniert. Sie gibt dabei einen träumerischen Einblick in die Populärkultur; die Bilder zeigen Gesten, Rituale von Weiblichkeit, die sie verzerrt.

Den Titel der Ausstellung „Baby, It Ain't Over Till It's Over“ hat Weyant einem Song von Lenny Kravitz entnommen - und der nahm das Zitat wiederum von Yogi Berra. In dieser Serie zeigt Weyant ihre Gemälde mit Aspekten des amerikanischen Milieus und der Medienlandschaft, und sie zeigt sie mit größter Genauigkeit und Intensität.

Biografie:

Weyant wurde 1995 in Calgary, Kanada, geboren. Nach ihrem BFA-Abschluss in Malerei an der Rhode Island School of Design zog sie nach New York und studierte anschließend Malerei an der China Academy of Art in Hangzhou. Nach ihrer Rückkehr nach New York arbeitete sie als Studioassistentin, während sie weiter malte. Zu ihren ersten ausgestellten Werken gehört eine Reihe von Leinwänden, die ein Puppenhaus - nach dem Vorbild eines Hauses, das sie als Kind besaß - und seine jungen Bewohnerinnen zeigen. In ihren Stillleben stellt Weyant Früchte, Blumen und andere Gegenstände in einem eher beunruhigenden Licht dar.

In ihren Werken verwendet Weyant eher eine düstere, gedämpfte Farbpalette aus tiefen Grüntönen, staubigen Rosatönen und tiefem Schwarz. Sie findet ihre Inspiration auch von niederländischen Meistern des 17. Jahrhunderts.
