The Meateater Series

Wendy Kveck's artwork is an examination of contemporary visual culture—as both reflective of, and an omnipotent force acting on—our collective psyches. Continued investigations into imagery from art history and today’s media reveal myriad female representations as incessant signifiers of excess, desire, anxiety and fear. Kveck works with friends and professional performers to stage dramas about such constructions of femininity, exploring social ritual and the notion of Woman as consumer and the consumed.

Wendy Kveck is a visual artist working across the mediums of painting, performance and video. Born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, she currently lives and works in Las Vegas, Nevada.
