Anna Weyant
American, b. 1995

A sense of unease and dark humor ripples through the oil paintings of Anna Weyant, depicted through the expressions of her female subjects as well as the unconventional items—such as suggestively positioned hot dogs, decapitated roses, and a platter of piranhas—found in her still lifes. Frequently working in a muted palette of yellows and greens, Weyant's paintings recall the meticulous brushwork and compositions of 17th-century Dutch masters like Gerrit van Honthorst, but with an irreverent twist like that of contemporary painters John Currin and Jesse Mockrin. In her piece Loose Screw (2020)—presented during Weyant's sold-out solo exhibition of the same name—a smiling woman is shown in profile with a mysteriously bandaged hand that hints at a deeper narrative. Her tragicomic works have earned critical acclaim for their seductive balance of light and dark, and she was featured on the cover of a 2020 issue of New American Paintings.
