Femme to Femme Fatale:
The Feminine in Contemporary Art

Curated by Beautiful Bizarre Magazine.

Woman. She is an archetype, a stereotype, mother, lover, daughter, and dominator. Larger than life, hiding her divinity, selfie-taking, heart breaking and heart broken. In this dynamic new group exhibition—presented by Modern Eden Gallery and curated bybeautiful.bizzare—over 60 international artists were asked to consider the modern woman in all her complexities and contradictions.

‘Femme to Femme Fatale’ has been brought together by Editor in Chief ofBeautiful Bizarre Magazine, Danijela Krha and her dedicated team of editors and staff. Based in Australia, Krha brings an international roster of the top contemporary artists in the art world today. Each artist has either been featured by the publication or will be featured in an upcoming issue.

The gallery began working with Krha and her team atbeautiful.bizarre in 2014 as the publication entered its sixth issue. Introductions to gallery director Kim Larson were made, and a shared interest in advancing the same caliber and style of artwork was revealed. Over the last several years, the magazine has grown and expanded into nothing short of an international phenomenon. Now in it’s 14th issue, and with well over 600,000  followers combined across their social networks, they serve up a continuous and engaging stream of beautiful and surreal contemporary artwork, which as their name implies—oft trend toward the bizarre. What initially began as a focus on advancing Australian artists on the world stage, became a much larger endeavor as similarities and shared interests were discovered in the US, Europe, Asia and more. Built upon nearly two years of planning and cross-collaboration, this exhibition represents a successful knitting together of a geographically disparate but connected community of artists under a common movement, and another step toward advancing this growing movement in the art world.
