More Than a Majority – A Collective Vision
Artist Collective
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.
Meet The Fifty-One Percent
Consisting of two Canadian artists and two British artists, this international group is rejecting the traditional art show and artist model, changing how the public experiences art.
Jela Prančić
Toronto-based, mixed media artist, Jela Prančić’s art explores the intersections of history, mysticism, and science, inviting viewers to reflect on the unseen forces that shape human experience.
Fi Marks
Through a distinctive practice that builds texture from textile patterns and stained glass effects, Fi Marks’ paintings tell the stories of women past and present.
Paula Telizyn
Paula Telizyn’s portraits are more than just paintings of her subjects, each piece is a dramatic exploration revealing their true essence.
Susan Gardner
Susan Gardner is a contemporary British painter working primarily in oil.
Through her intensely expressive paintings, Susan forges deep connections between her wildlife subjects and the viewer.
The Story
Of Four Women, One Vision
The Fifty-One Percent was born out of a collective desire to do more with our art. To do different kinds of shows. To reach farther. And to do it all together.
“Our collective enables us to step on the world stage, and inspire other artists to forge their own paths, outside of the constraints of the art world.”
