Arghavan Khosravi

Arghavan Khosravi, an Iranian artist living and is based at New York. Her cultural heritage is a major influence on her work heavily and she incorporates textiles from Iran and thinks about the status of women in her home country, as well as her own sense of alienation from it. Khosravi is the 2019 recipient of Joan Mitchell's Painters and Sculptors Grant and a recipient in 2017 and 2018 of the Walter Feldman Fellowship. The work of the artist is part of those of Newport Art Museum and the Rhode Island School of Design Museum.

Khosravi reside in New Jersey and works in New York as a member artist with the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts.

Her work is not just visually captivating, but it is also loaded with political commentaries. I came across her work in the latter part of 2019 several months prior to the outbreak, via Instagram and was immediately captivated by it. The bright colours and the soft skin are juxtaposed with bizarre elements like the ankle bond, explosives and fragments of sculptures, broken structures ropes, keys, and locks. The work is populated with symbols of the censorship of society, like locks or masks, as well as bonds which reflect the artist's experiences of growing as a child in Iran.

Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo's work did not just have an impression on the own homeland of Mexico but all over the world. Her artworks gave us a deep insight into her life including her turbulent relation her relationship with Diego Rivera to her inability to have children. When you look through her paintings, you will experience her suffering and catch an insight into the person she was.

Kahlo was regarded as one of Mexico's most outstanding artists. She began self-portraits mostly after she suffered a serious injury during a crash on a bus. Kahlo became politically active and got married to another artist from the communist movement Diego Rivera in 1929. Her paintings were exhibited throughout Paris and Mexico prior to her death in the year 1954.

In her entire life self-portraits are one of the subjects that Frida Kahlo has always returned to. Artists always return to their favorite themes: Vincent van Gogh his Sunflowers, Rembrandt his Self Portrait as well as Claude Monet his Water Lilies. Kahlo didn't sell many paintings during her lifetime, but she occasionally painted portraits for orders. Kahlo had one solo show in Mexico during her lifetime in 1953, a year prior to her death at 47.

Her works are sold at very high costs. On May 6, 2006 Frida Kahlo's self-portrait Roots which was sold at $5.62 million at an auction held by Sotheby's held in New York, sets a record for the highest priced Latin American work ever purchased at auction. It also creates Frida Kahlo among the most sought-after artists in the field of art.

Caroline Larsen

Caroline Larsen is a Canadian artist who is based in Toronto. Her work is known for its amazing like sculptures created by her using pastry tubes filled with paint. They're vibrant and packed with texture. It's actually candy for the eyes.

Born born in Toronto, Canada in 1980, Larsen studied at Fine Arts at the University of Waterloo in Toronto and then earned her Art Education Diploma at the University of Aukland in New Zealand and later went further to obtain her MFA with honors from Pratt in 2015.

At first glance, Larsen's work appears to be composed of fabric, possibly an embroidery of some sort. However, what we're seeing are oil paintings with intricate designs that Larsen creates by pouring paint in the pipe bags before pressing it directly to the canvas.

Each of Larsen's paintings requires about a month to design, beginning with the search on for images on the internet that match her style of painting, and then it's time to plan the colour scheme, and finally put together the idea of what she would like to paint.

Claire Tabouret

Claire Tabouret is a French artist from LA. Her work is renowned for its paintings of characters that she paints using loose, expressive brushstrokes. Her work is renowned for its makeup-related paintings, and her work have been sold for around half a million dollars in auctions in the year 2020. Through her representational paintings as well as drawings and sculptures Claire explores the concept of personal identity and takes a deeper to childhood and the complexities of it as well as the individuals who are isolated within a larger group. Sometimes, they are covered, fabricated or disguised, women and children who are silent stand before the viewer as frozen frames.

Claire Tabouret studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris. Inspired by a sense of the passage of time as well as the vulnerability floodgates opened by human interactions Tabouret's art practice is interspersed between moments of productive urgency and peaceful reflection, and accompanied by layers, fabric and free, fluid strokes. Her fluid palette is suspended in the air between the makeup's synthetic hues and the subdued earth tones and evokes the organic and synthetic components of representation. Tableaux that depict bodies in conflict portraits, and paintings of groups of people ranging from debutantes to migrants in the sea and even landscapes are usually colored with colors, creating the impression of a place and site-specificity. For her monotypes, Tabouret uses the phantom staining left by the press to create transparency and opacity in her depictions of sexuality, conflict, and love.

In her paintings of figurative nature as well as drawings and sculptures Claire Tabouret scrutinizes identity and explores childhood and its mysteries that leave the person alone or in the context of a group. Sometimes, covered, or disguised, women and children with faces that are mute stand before the viewer as frozen frames. The most recent, immersive mural that was created on Fabregues Castle in the south of France is a prime example of the timeless, and sometimes carnivalesque world that the artist has created through her paintings. The majority of her paintings are coated with a reflective layer, and then exhibited using large-sized canvases, her paintings which have tonalities that can be darker and at times acidic, like in the grouping of the Debutantes are awash with theatrical mystery. Prior to the depiction of characters and groups, which might evoke the style from Romantic art, Claire Tabouret was often attracted to aquatic diurnal as well as nighttime landscapes. In this period she was particularly involved in that series called Inondees, the Maisons Inondees,the series which led to her recognition as well as the collection titled Migrations. The inspiration for these paintings comes from archival or internet-based photos, her canvasses are stained by personal experiences creating a world of memories and stories.

Marlene Dumas

It is said that this South African painter is one of the most significant artists of the current. Marlene Dumas's striking works offer a glimpse into her early life and what it was like growing as a child in the apartheid. She is famous for her strokes that are characterized by movement as well as paints that are soft and a little transparent. Her paintings are real and full of images that appear as if they were created from a past memory.

In the past, Dumas created collages, paintings drawing, prints, and installations. Dumas now works mostly with oils on canvas as well as using ink onto paper. The sources she relies on for her work are diverse and include magazine and newspaper cuttings and personal memorabilia Flemish paintings, as well as Polaroid photos. Most of her work can be classified as ' portraits but they're not photographs in the conventional sense. Instead of representing the person in question they express emotions or states of mind. Themes at the heart of Dumas his work are sexuality and race and innocence and guilt love and violence.

There are many female artists that could be added to this list, and they have a huge influence over popular culture. A few of them have more traditional backgrounds and are the primary reason behind the online art schools.
