Gerald Peters Contemporary is pleased to present its first exhibition of the 2025 summer season, Material Girl: Pop Culture and the Female Gaze. Bringing together six female artists working across media, the exhibition will highlight the connections between the artists’ personal histories and social, political, and cultural realities of today.

Anchored in Pop Art, the exhibition explores how these artists use the genre’s vocabulary of familiar imagery, bold colors, and ready-made objects to examine socio-political concerns.  Probing gender, sexuality, materialism, and commodification, these works offer profound personal introspection and keen societal awareness.

Angela Ellsworth (b. 1964) is a multidisciplinary artist based in the southwestern United States, working primarily in painting, drawing, sculpture, and performance. Her solo and collaborative works engage diverse subjects including physical fitness, endurance, illness, social ritual, and religious tradition—examining how ritual, myth, and tradition move across cultures and generations.
