Disrupting the Contemporary Art Landscape

The Fifty-One Percent Artist Collective

Welcome to The Fifty-One Percent

We are a powerhouse collective of four female artists, Fi Marks, Paula Telizyn, Susan Gardner, and Jela Prančić. We are dedicated to reclaimed space, shared creative dialogue, and the pursuit of excellence in contemporary art.

Our name reflects the world as it is: a majority voice that is frequently hushed, but never silent.

Through diverse mediums and distinct personal styles, we come together to amplify one another’s work and challenge the boundaries of the modern art landscape.
