Don’t Miss These 8 Shows by Women Artists to Watch This Month
Loie Hollowell, Nicole Coson, Sixten Sandra Österberg, Nora Riggs, and more are on view around the world in this slate of exciting openings.
Sophie LeeWhen: March 8 - April 20
Why It’s Worth a Look: Thirty-nine figures appear in Chen’s second solo exhibition with Rachel Uffner. Each portrait was painted live during a 3-hour afternoon session with the subject. Chen met a portion of the sitters at Planned Parenthood events, and recruited the rest from online forums. In her work, women often reduced to an archetype are fleshed out, given a story that travels beyond the day they showed up to a clinic.
Know Before You Go: The exhibition also marks a new venture for the artist: ceramics. A selection of pieces are on view alongside her paintings.
