You’re Gonna Give Me The Love I Need, 2010 from the Put A Litte Sugar In My Bowl series. Rhinestones, acrylic and wood panel by Mickalene Thomas via here.
One of my favorite artists is the extraordinary Mickalene Thomas.Her paintings are collage mix of media; wood panel, rhinestone, acrylic etc. She is notable for work that depicts assured women, reclining in classical poses akin to portrait figures in fine art.
The setting is usually high in texture with multiple prints. This is seen in the furniture, clothing her subjects wear and the soft furnishing. Thomas’s use of print alone is like a collage in itself and adds further dimension to the built on nature of her work.
Her chose of subjects (women, comfortable with the sensuality) suggests that Thomas’s work explores sexuality, pop culture and beauty.
