Chic living meets surrealism in a previously-unseen collage by Mickalene Thomas.

Collage is a foundational element of Thomas’ practice, revealing the conception and intimate stages of her artistic vision. Absent of figures, the stylish interior draws us inside with amalgamation of layers. Each nook waits to be explored, adorned with eclectic patterns and injected with glitter. From the nostalgic living space to the verdant garden outside, we are led to imagine what stories could be told from within the artist’s carefully fashioned space.

Reminiscent of glossy vintage magazines, the print edition is finished with silkscreen layers of metallic shimmer, high gloss and satin varnish, hand-applied glitter and a matte seal.

“Collage is how I draw and see, create form and composition. It's a defining moment of learning, unlearning and redefining the concepts and images in my work.”

Mickalene Thomas10 collaborationsMickalene Thomas set out to change the face of art history, and that's exactly what she did. In her loud but tender multimedia portraits, Black femme power, beauty and desire take centre stage. Whether it's the artist herself, her mother, a lover, a friend or a public figure like Michelle Obama, each woman tells her own story. In Thomas' words: "The gaze of my work is unapologetically a Black woman's gaze loving other Black women."¹ This deep sense of adoration and respect comes through in all of her art – not just her portraits but her interiors and photography too. The bright Pop Art-esque blend of photography, collage, paint and craft shop materials like rhinestones has a celebratory feel designed to uplift and empower the next generation. "For me, it's all about trying to inspire and make young girls, when they walk into a space like [a museum], feel a sense of themselves. They see that they're represented."
