MATERIAL GIRL

Curated by Lisa Corinne Davis, Material Girl showcases a vibrant ensemble of multigenerational self-identifying women artists, each hailing from diverse backgrounds and united by their fascination with the physicality of paint. Rather than merely applying color, they engage in dynamic techniques —puncturing, weaving, incising, and dragging the paint across the canvas—expanding the scope of painting. This active involvement transforms the artwork into an immersive visual experience that invites viewers to observe, and move throughout the compelling surfaces, uncovering the unique expressions of each artist. At the heart of this exhibition lies an emphasis on the physical presence and sensory experience of paint, while giving voice to historically powerful female perspectives and demonstrating the keen and much needed intergenerational dialogues between artists.
