Exhibition in Kingston, London

I’m really excited to have work accepted to show at an exhibition along with other female artists through The BobCat Gallery, Tiny, But Fierce’ will showcase small scale artworks from BobCat Gallery artists identifying as female - highlighting the talent and varied perspectives of 20 women artists.

‘...though she be but little, she is fierce.’

(Helena - Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 3 - Scene 2)

BobCat Gallery is collaborating with Cass Art to take over their Kingston Art Space from 5th - 12th September, for an exhibition focused exclusively on female artists.

Tiny, But Fierce’ will showcase small scale artworks from BobCat Gallery artists identifying as female - highlighting the talent and varied perspectives of 20 women artists.

Catherine Sweet, Curator and Founder of BobCat Gallery, says: “This will be a lively exhibition of small but perfectly formed pieces, with a specially curated collection of painting, drawing, glass sculpture, printmaking and more.

Although many would ask, ‘doesn’t the art matter more than the gender of the artist?’, I would still argue that the inherent bias in the art world favours ‘male’ artists to this day. 

While there are millions of talented female and/or womxn artists around the globe, they are routinely presented with fewer opportunities to show their work. That’s something I am determined to challenge, along with long standing cultural ideals about female roles, power and autonomy.”

Anne Sweet | Caroline Banks | Catherine Sweet | Clare Smith | Despina Symeou | Diana Burch | Jill Meager | Judy Century | Kira Phoenix K’Inan | Laura Fishman | Laura Parker | Linda Chapman | Patricia Bidi | Pernilla Iggstrom | Rebecca Tucker | Sal Jones | Siusan Patterson | Taya De La Cruz | Tonia Jillings | Laurence de Valmy
