Grace Weaver
Grace Weaver has created a painterly universe of the modern Western world. Her works can be read as social commentary of city life and its inhabitants. Although her protaganists often seem out of place, the scenarios stand in as markers of the mundane – whether working from home, pursuing outdoor recreation or spending leisure time at bars. With an inward gaze, their bodies moving clumsily in space, they seem overwhelmed by the complexities of ever- yday life. Combining color and story-telling, her works offer vast possibilities of interpreta- tion and depict the vividness of modern experience.
Grace Weaver graduated with an MFA from the Virginia Commonwealth University, Rich- mond in 2015. She has been awarded with grants and residencies including a VCUARTS De- an’s Graduate Research Grant (2014), Artist-in-Residence at DakshinaChitra, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, IMD (2012) and the Burlington City Arts’ ArtLab residency, Burlington, VT (2012).
Solo exhibitions include: Painters and Portraits, Yuz Museum, Shanghai, CN (2023); Laundry, Soy Capitán, Berlin, DE (2023); Neues Museum, Nürnberg, DE (2023); O.K., Kunstpalais Er- langen, DE (2019); Little Sister; Oldenburger Kunstverein, DE (2019); Super Busy, Soy Capi- tán, Berlin, DE (2017); Pedestrian, Kunstverein Reutlingen, DE (2017) and Skinny Latte, Soy Capitán, Berlin, DE (2015).
She has also taken in part in several group shows: Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf, DE (2024); Yuz Museum, Shanghai, CN (2023); 24h, BRAUNSFELDER, in collaboration with Super Super Markt, Cologne, DE (2022); How To & Know How, Neue Galerie Gladbeck, DE (2022); Aus- zeit.
