#brokenwomenstronger: an artist’s portrayal of gender-based violence

Virginia Mallon is an artist who creates paintings photographs, and mixed media whose works address the issues of sexual assault and gender-based violence. In this conversation with WAI, Virginia shares insights into her artistic process, the personal experiences that shaped her work, and her belief in the power of art to drive change...

Even in the Garden/Inner Beasts at Ceres Gallery June 2024

 

Ceres Gallery is pleased to present Even in the Garden and Inner Beasts new paintings by Virginia Mallon. A timely exhibit, which explores myths and bible stories about women's role in the world, touching upon fictional events portrayed as reality, representing the loss of feminine power and the birth of the patriarchy. It launches from antiquity and reaches forward toward today to examine how antiquated ideology still rules our contemporary world.

 

Inner Beasts, contemplates how women are groomed from a very early age to conform, as so aptly stressed in the Barbie movie, “You have to be thin, but not too thin…you have to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women…never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish..” It is no wonder that the term masking was coined. We mask to deflect attention, to conform to societal pressures. This series looks at what is under the mask, the authentic, yet hidden, inner beasts.

 

Mallon is an artist working in paint, photography, and mixed media. Her work contemplates religious, historic, and mythological women, personal histories, the psychological undercurrents of contemporary society.

FAT CANARY AT CERES GALLERY May 2024

​

The Fat Canary Journal is an independent, pro-artist platform that celebrates contemporary and emerging artists. This alternative space creates exhibition opportunities for contributors of diverse backgrounds, identities, and expressions. Our practice is to leave creative control in the hands of the artist, allowing them the freedom to freely express that which drives, inspires, haunts, and heals them. We are artist owned and operated since 2018 and do not take commission on sales. All inquiries are referred directly to the artists.

 

This upcoming Fat Canary exhibition continues its visual advocacy at Queens College of the City University of New York in October 2025 with a juried exhibit of Fat Canary artists and members of Ceres Gallery and Soho2020. 

 

In 2024, we hosted an exhibit at Ceres Gallery, with a fascinating lineup of women artists and a range of provocative styles. The group of artists will be on display from May 21 to June 15, 2024, with the opening reception on Thursday, May 23rd from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. There will be a Meet the Artist reception on Saturday, June 15th from 3:00 to 5:00 pm.
