In her recent paintings, Grace Weaver continues her distinctive imagery of emblematic figures, portraiture, and urban scenes and scenarios. Painted in a decisively subdued palette, in "The Crowd" (2021), the emphasis shifts to shape. The three bare-legged figures rise to monumental proportions. On the same plane, the personal attributes of the subjects–their various glances and bag-clutching hands–come to the fore with the same force as their accessories and cigarette smoke puffs. In the resulting composition, the figures, objects, and abstract shapes appear locked together as if in rhyme.
