In an art world still marked by significant gender disparities, The Feminine Landscape brings together five Edmonton area women artists whose diverse practices highlight not only their creative excellence but also the myriad roles they navigate in both their personal and professional lives.
Artists Alyson Davies, Crystal Driedger, Janet Sutanto, Ashley Thimot and Samantha Williams-Chapelsky have each created works that interpret what the “feminine landscape” means to them.
Through this exhibition, viewers are invited to engage not only with the artwork but with the invisible labour that comes with being a woman artist today. “The Feminine Landscape” is a statement on the strength, resilience, and creativity of women in a system that frequently asks them to do more for less, and where a compliment is to hear that your work “looks like a man made it."
Curated by Alyson Davies and Samantha Williams-Chapelsky and organized by the Art Gallery of Alberta
