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 everyday life. Combining color and story-telling, her works offer vast possibilities of interpretation and depict the vividness of modern experience.

Her work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at international institutions, including Prélude, Kunstmuseum Magdeburg (2026), DE; Grace Weaver I and Grace Weaver II, Neues Museum, Nürnberg (2023 and 2024), DE; Painters and Portraits, Yuz Museum, Shanghai (2023), CN; Little Sister, Oldenburger Kunstverein (2019), DE; O.K., Kunstpalais Erlangen (2019), DE; Pedestrian, Kunstverein Reutlingen (2017), DE; and Dakshina Chitra, Chennai (2012), IN.

Her work has also been included in group exhibitions such as I Can Buy Myself Flowers, Kunsthal N, Copenhagen (2026), DK; I Will Look Into the Earth, Kunsthalle Helsinki (2025/26), FI; Notes of Becoming, Oldenburger Kunstverein (2025), DE; How To & Know How, Neue Galerie Gladbeck (2022), DE; How (not) to fit in – Metaphern der Adoleszenz, Villa Merkel, Esslingen (2022), DE; Auszeit: Von Pausen und Momenten des Aufbruchs, Kunstmuseum Ravensburg (2021), DE; and No Man is an Island – The Satanic Verses, ARoS Aarhus Art Museum, Aarhus (2016), DK – as well as in collection presentations at Kunstpalast Düsseldorf (2024) and, currently, at Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main (2026), DE.
