CINDY WORKMAN | PAUL HOSKING 23. January 2026 - 17. April 2026

Cindy Workman was raised to be a proper young lady on New York City’s Upper East Side. She was supposed to go to debutante balls, then settle down with a rich husband and make babies. Instead, she became an artist who questions the whole notion that women should have assigned roles in life. Maybe the Upper East Side lost a Stepford Wife, but the downtown arts scene gained a smart social critic. Workman is a young collage artist who takes images from popular culture and juxtaposes them to bring out society’s assumptions about women. Her work is really fun to look at – campy vintage pornography, cowboy comic books, and vapid nature illustrations are combined in large, slick sculptures that hang on walls like grand scale paintings. If there were a soundtrack, it might be Cibo Matto. But get out the Hole and Portishead too. Because Workman’s art has a serious subtext: these campy images reflect how women have been defined by images a male-dominated society, and how these stereotypes continue to impact the self-image of young women. Turner Grady, 1998
