This exhibition at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum showcases the work of contemporary artist Anna Weyant, featuring a selection of approximately twenty recent paintings. Curated in close collaboration with the artist, it is her first solo museum exhibition and explores her enigmatic iconography, which draws from both American popular culture and interwar modernism.
Within the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum's exhibition program dedicated to the Blanca and Borja Thyssen-Bornemisza collection, the museum presents the work of Anna Weyant (Calgary, 1995). Curated by Guillermo Solana, in close collaboration with the artist, this marks her first monographic exhibition in a museum, featuring approximately twenty selected paintings from her most recent body of work. Weyant's paintings display a rich tapestry of artistic references, spanning from the Baroque to the art of the first half of the 20th century, periods well-represented in the Thyssen Museum's collection. These works engage in a dialogue with the selection of paintings from the permanent collection exhibited alongside them. Known for her paintings featuring young women, Weyant captures a world suspended between the dreamlike and the everyday, rendered in a figurative style deeply shaped by artistic tradition. Her enigmatic iconography evokes both contemporary American popular culture and interwar modern movements such as Surrealism.
