Mickalene Thomas's DIN, UNE TRÈS BELLE NÉGRESSE Wall Hanging Skateboard

Mickalene THOMAS' most frequent subject is Women of Color. They face the viewer confidently, with heroic authority and natural beauty. These are figures unafraid to express desire and assert their dominance, proudly taking up space.

The subject portrayed in this solo edition is no different. She breaks the fourth wall with a nonchalant gaze. Her makeup and jewelry are bold, complimenting the vibrant pattern in the background. Its design is a personal nod to Mickalene THOMAS’ childhood, sourcing its inspiration from the textures and colors which accompanied it.
