Anna Weyant (b.1995) is a figurative oil painter from Calgary, Canada. Weyant received her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design in 2017 and currently lives and works in New York City. Play, corruption, and indulgence are important themes in Weyant’s work. She is interested in devious, semi-sympathetic characters and tragicomic narratives. Her figures are often self-reflective and primarily young women. In her work, Weyant searches for humour in the clash of youth rebellion and repression, and the seemingly paradoxical idea of misbehaving within a structured and controlled environment.
Weyant has been represented globally since May 2022 by Gagosian Gallery, owned by Larry Gagosian, whom Weyant began dating in 2021. The artist’s relationship to Gagosian has been discussed widely in art publications and news outlets.
Weyant primarily works as figurative painter. Weyant has cited Dutch Masters, as well as contemporary artists like John Currin, as influences. Many of her works depict women rendered in dark, moody scenes.
Weyant has staged four solo exhibitions: Welcome to the Dollhouse (2019), 56 Henry, New York;[11] Loose Screw (2021), Blum & Poe, Los Angeles;[12]splinter (2022), Blum & Poe, Tokyo;[13][14] and Baby, It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over (2022), Gagosian Gallery, New York.[15][16]
Weyant’s work has also been featured in several group exhibitions, including Artists Inspired by Music: Interscope Reimagined(2022) at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.[1]
