These women artists are showing how wide the pay gap is in the art world by only painting part of their canvases — and you get what you pay for.

00:00All the paintings that you will see here have been painted only 52.6% of the canvas.
00:22Art Gap, as the name suggests, is based on a gap and that gap is about the gender pay
00:27gap that unfortunately exists in the art world as well as everywhere else.
00:32Female artists are paid 47.6% less than their male counterparts for the same amount of work,
00:39which was quite shocking.
01:03This is how much you're paying for, although the work is an entire canvas, but you're paying
01:07for this much, and hopefully the idea is not to have, like, there's no gender war going
01:12on here because we're happy for our male counterparts to get what they do.
01:15We just want to be paid the same.
