A selection of enchanting female paintings by Doha, Qatar-based artist Zoe Hawk. Her “work deals with the complex experience of girlhood, exploring adolescent anxiety, feminine identity, and belonging”.
My work delves into the world of adolescence, depicting girls and young women within carefully constructed scenes: at school, in the home, or out in nature. Themes of gendered socialization, anxiety, group dynamics, and performance are tackled within scenes of girlhood play and interactions, often stylistically referencing children’s storybook illustrations.
