Anna Weyant’s paintings of women are at once delightful and yet strangely grotesque. With an emphasis on voluptuous bodies and distorted facial expressions, Weyant's paintings conjure figures reminiscent of ourselves but with an uncanny quality. Weyant’s paintings of abjection invite new examinations of femininity within the historical media landscape that overemphasizes breasts and curves. Engaging with this iconography, she at once subverts it through characters that exist in surreal environments.
