Art is about more than identity, can allow us to transcend identity, but having been raised in the art world of the 90s, when painting was dying and women werenât given the wall space they deserved, itâs a joy to watch femme painters rise to the top of the pile creatively and financially. I am lucky enough to cherish works by Jenna Gribbon, Jocelyn Hobbie, Kyle Staver, Ellen Birkinblit and my dear friend Issy Wood. I am currently obsessed with Larissa De Jesus Negron, Petra Cortright, Lucy Bull, Robin F. Williams, Somaya Critchlow, Gina Beavers and Cynthia Talmadge. Itâs a lifetime dream to have a massive Lisa Yuskavage to wake up to (though I do have a print she gave me for my 26th birthday when I had a Soul Cycle party and everyone was mad except Lisa, who kicked all our millenial asses on the bike.)

I think you might like Tina Barney & Beth Garrabrant (things shouldn't be so hard) a lot
I'm sure you know about cindy sherman's untitled film stills (& if you like that you will probably like nadia lee cohen's non-commercial work) & nan goldin's ballad of sexual dependency
personally I think sex by madonna is an incredibly underrated artistic project
not really photography but an honourable mention must be made to Tracey Emin and
Sophie Calle (who I think is light years ahead of anyone else making art about surveillance)

for overall artists, i really enjoy the body of work by photographer renĂŠe cox. i love her takes on representation and her unapologetic nature. i wasnât much of a photography girl before her, but i get it now. i also really enjoy the paintings of oda iselin sønderland and the mood sheâs able to capture with them. and i canât forget the works of aya takano! i love the world sheâs crafted and the figures that come out of it. she reminds me that iâm a woman but also still a girl if that makes sense.
for favorite contemporary works of art in general, thatâs even harder as i have so many! for now, iâll choose kiki smithâs 1996 piece âconstellationâ (pictured here). but i could go on forever.
