🎥Caption, video and image reposted from @yanceyrichardsongallery - "In our current exhibition je t’adore, multidisciplinary artist Mickalene Thomas presents 13 new large-scale mixed media photo collages inspired by her research into the imagery of #Blackfemaleerotica featured in the calendars of #Jetmagazine and the pages of the 1950s French publication, Nus Exotique.

Combining abstraction and figuration, these dynamic three-dimensional constructions undercut any narrative reading and draw attention to the fluidity of identity, collectiveness of culture, and malleability of history in modern society. Rich in materiality and visual appeal, the works celebrate the sexuality and beauty of the female black body...

Watch Thomas discuss her thought process behind this new body of work.
