Anna Weyant

Anna Weyant (born 1995) is a Canadian artist whose figurative paintings blend influence from the Dutch Golden Age with an awareness of contemporary popular culture and social media.

Career Weyant primarily works as figurative painter. Weyant has cited Dutch Masters, as well as contemporary artists like John Currin, as influences. Many of her works depict women rendered in dark, moody scenes.

Weyant was formerly represented by Blum & Poe but had a falling out with Tim Blum, a director at the gallery, before joining Gagosian Gallery in May 2022. Falling Woman was consigned to sale by Tim Blum, Weyant's former gallerist, in what a reporter for Artnet News described as a "revenge consignment."

In 2025, Weyant was appointed to the 2026 Met Gala's host committee, co-chaired by Anthony Vaccarello and Zoë Kravitz.

Reception and criticism Discussing the artist's exhibition splinter (2022) at Blum & Poe, Rae Niwa wrote in Flaunt that Weyant has a "meticulous approach to color and line," noting that "there is a spaciousness and lightness in the work." Conversely, reporter and critic Alex Greenberger, writing for ARTnews, described Weyant's first solo exhibition with Gagosian Gallery, Baby, It Ain't Over Till It's Over (2022), as "an overly safe dud," labeling the show "just another market-ready figurative painting show in New York by a young painter."

Prior to joining Gagosian Gallery, the artist's work received very little attention from curators, critics, and the media. Artnet News reported in early 2024 that Weyant and Gagosian had separated, although she continued to be represented by his gallery.

Exhibitions Weyant has staged seven solo exhibitions:

Welcome to the Dollhouse (2019), 56 Henry, New York; Loose Screw (2021), Blum & Poe, Los Angeles; Splinter (2022), Blum & Poe, Tokyo; Baby, It Ain't Over Till It's Over (2022), Gagosian Gallery, New York; The Guitar Man (2023), Gagosian Gallery, Paris; Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolves? (2023), Gagosian Gallery, London. Anna Weyant (2025), Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum, Madrid

Weyant's work has also been featured in several group exhibitions, including Artists Inspired by Music: Interscope Reimagined (2022) at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
