About The Work

Artspace in partnership with Artadia is pleased to announce the release of Watering Weeds , a new series of unique limited edition prints by Summer Wheat created in celebration of Artadia’s 25th anniversary.

Based on an original large-scale painting of the same name, the Watering Weeds edition consists of 30 unique hand-embellished prints that reflect the artist’s practice of pushing the boundaries of materiality and abstraction.

Wheat is known for her dynamic, large-scale works that combine the human figure, abstraction, and references to both contemporary culture and art history. Her vibrant, tactile works often draw inspiration from the human body, exploring themes of cultivation, empowerment, and the intersection of the spiritual and the mundane.

“The woman’s role as a fountain in Watering Weeds shows her role in nature as the water source for the garden. The garden grows as it is watered, and both the figure and her setting are responding to each other. We constantly need to be cultivated, nurtured, manicured, fed. It’s coming from this idea of taking care of oneself within this garden or one’s personal sphere and harvesting what you’re sowing.”  —Summer Wheat

Wheat has exhibited widely at museums and galleries internationally. She has been the subject of recent exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver; the Brooklyn Museum, and the Aspen Art Museum. Wheat’s work is represented in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Hammer Museum, and the Pérez Art Museum Miami, among others. Her work has been featured in publications such as The New York Times , Artforum , and Vogue .
