Wendy Kveck, Wounder Woman Studies: Lasso of Truth, 2019, GIF

The oozing, sweet frosting masks in my performance work reference painting, decoration, masquerade, messy interiorities and becoming undone. Wounder Woman is a more recent iteration of an earlier knife-wielding persona in my work; she has evolved (or devolved) into a looping angry superheroine, counting the lies of the last four years.

Wendy Kveck’s studio practice interrogates, subverts and activates contemporary media and art historical depictions of women as cultural markers through the mediums of painting, drawing, collage and performance.

Her ensemble performances seek to create a space for feminism and social dialogue around vulnerability, chaos, agency and transformation.

She has exhibited her work nationally in contemporary art galleries and museums and has contributed to the Las Vegas arts community in various roles as an artist, educator, advocate, and administrator for non-profit organizations and institutions. She is the founder of Settlers + Nomads, a collaborative curatorial project highlighting contemporary art and artists with ties to Las Vegas, Nevada.
