I know that art has always had a subjective element to it—that’s why some contemporary pieces will have one person on their knees and another just scratching their head. And as long as art has been made, there’s always been some tortured artist-type painting naked ladies while patting themselves on the back for getting the left titty *just* right.
To a degree, women have always tried to reclaim the narrative in artistic circles; drawing focus to nature landscapes or depicting scenes where the woman is shown in a position of power, and less as an object. That’s why I love the female-focused art that’s surged in the last decade or so—art that’s about representations of real female figures with curves, and bellies, and stretch marks.
That’s why I’ve rounded up these unique female art and home décor items for you to consider including in your next round of redecorating or upcoming holiday gifting. From vases to candles, these pieces, all offered by small businesses, will fit perfectly as a centerpiece in any home that wants to scream, “women.”
I absolutely adore this Pottery Lodge boob planter. The listing has a variety of color options and boobs that aren’t perky enough to poke an eye out.
This ring holder by Redwood Stoneworks definitely caters to aesthetic more than practicality (how many rings can you really fit with only one finger?) But with the option of adding a ring dish with the hand, this plaster beauty would be perfect “F the Patriarchy” statement at anyone’s front entrance or mantle.
I don’t know who first thought to make candle molds of the female form, but I love the fact that Pretty Honest Candles offers a range of shapes and sizes named after Greek goddesses. Ancient art of the female form has always been addressed as “Venus” and every one of the melting muses in this shop definitely live up to that name.
I know this one may be a bit tongue-in-cheek (pun ABSOLUTELY intended) but when I saw the words “jiggly” and “butt” associated with this candle from Nervous Art Store, I knew someone out there would appreciate this amazing piece of art.
Okay, I know there seems to be a booty-ful reoccurring theme of butts here, but this incense burner is just too good. Jenny Dawn of Stony Point Pottery also does a range of other pieces, i.e. mugs with boobs, but the concept of an incense burner shaped like a butt was just too hilarious for me not to spread the love (and quirky gift idea).
This wire-art hanging by Switzerland-based mirusartworks can be both a wall-piece and a jewelry holder, and really radiates bad b*tch energy.
These female-centered art prints by Constanza Illustrates are refreshingly unique and bold—making them ideal as a stand out piece for that space right above your couch, or in your bedroom.
Gravel and Gold has this excellent lavender shower curtain of minimalistically rendered tatas. They also offer the same print on a range of goods like pillowcases, laundry baskets, and even face masks to make sure you can maximize the cohesivity of your female-inspired living space.
Okay, who here suddenly can’t get enough of metal and wire art? This portrait of a woman with plants from Black Ivy Craft is the perfect modern wall art. And you can choose from gold or black!
