The Rebellious Curator

(posted on 16 Feb 2021)

Changes in the gallery landscape and the over-saturation of abstract artists has prompted me to consider moving in a new direction.

I've noticed an exponential increase in abstract artists both online and in galleries, and contrary to stats, women abstract artists do currently dominate the artworld. It's not a bad thing, and I encourage women artists to make art when they have something to say, but there are too many right now, and it makes me yawn. Whenever there are trends, the quality of work descends, and it's time for me to go another way.

My focus will be on miniatures, dollhouses, dioramas, and re-thinking and re-purposing structures into assemblage. 

 

I may return to painting in a few years, but for now, I will be a closet painter.
