Anna Weyant’s precisely rendered works depict figures embroiled in tragicomic narratives. Everyday objects in her still life compositions adopt an uncanny, portentous air.

Loose Screw reprises a graphite study for an original painting as an edition of hand-pulled lithographs. The scene centres on a lone woman at a bar, laughing forcefully over a glass of wine. A column on the right acts as a stand-in for a second figure – leading us to question whether the subject is indeed happy to be alone, or starting to unravel in an age of self-isolation.

A percentage of profits from this edition will be donated to World Central Kitchen.

Behind the scenes

Anna Weyant1 collaborationIn Anna Weyant’s precisely rendered scenes, figures—most often young and female—find themselves embroiled in tragicomic narratives with an ironic twinge, offering a dreamlike insight into the capacity of popular culture and social convention to manufacture and distort gestures, rituals, and signifiers of femininity. But far from presenting her protagonists as merely symbolic, Weyant remains sensitive to their human idiosyncrasies and contradictions, picturing characters who are endearing, mysterious, and wholly themselves. Drawing on art historical and present-day influences, Weyant employs a somber, muted palette of deep greens, dusty pinks, and deep black.
