Paintings/drawings by five female artists

It is obviously no coincidence that all five artists of this exhibition are female. That is also quite apparent in their works, even if they express it quite differently. They range from artists mainly known for their urban murals to artists mainly known for their gallery works. I am stunned by the beauty of the female faces covered in Marvel comic scenes by Sandra Chevrier, and give a friendly nod to the now familiar iconography by Aiko who just visited Stavanger during the Nuart festival. I become puzzled by the delicate and strongly political drawings by Hyuro - especially the "woman growing hair all over her body, shedding the fur, that becomes a wolf that walks away" triptych. I try to enter the dreamlike world of Faith47, and I am very pleased seeing the wonderful, humorous and slightly disturbing drawings of Marit Victoria Wulff Andreassen.
