Women Painting Women is an international
movement that explores how contemporary women painters are handling women as
subjects. The goal is to “promote the
visibility of contemporary female artists portraying female subjects in the
figurative traditions and showcase the quality, variety and breadth of women
making figurative art in the 21st century”.
The movement began as a Women Painting
Women Blog in 2009 showcasing treatments of the female form as painted by
female artists. It has since expanded to
include exhibitions in the UK and the US and now throughout the world. We are delighted to bring this international
movement to Calgary to encourage and inspire all figurative artists especially
women.
