British artist Shannon Bono draws on scientific foundations to inform compelling tributes to Black womanhood, defying colonial histories at every turn.

The process of creating A Reflection of You saw Bono collaborate closely with a print studio in London to reimagine a pre-existing painting, layering the original green palette with luxurious gold tones. Furthermore, the work’s surface is hand-finished by the artist with a series of details in 3D pearlescent cream — making every print unique.

This work is part of We Are History collection curated by Aindrea Emelife.

Shannon Bono smiling sat in front of two paintings

Shannon Bono1 collaborationBono experiments across painting, collage and sculpture to tell dynamic stories of Black womanhood. With the exception of her mother and close friends, she largely paints herself from photographs with oil paint. The works recall the grandiose liturgy of Renaissance and Byzantine art, and seamlessly thread African textile cultures with scientific images of sickle and nerve cells - a symbol of cultural and physiological life. Following principles of Afrofemcentrism, Bono uses the Black femme body to uncover histories and present themes of liberation and self-autonomy.

Review of Out of the Dark
I was lucky enough to have been invited to see the creation of this piece of work back in June and met the fantastic Miwa so seeing this print now is just fantastic. The colours are every bit as vibrant as the original.

Review of Sierra
we appreciate the care taken in transport. Our piece was unframed but we appreciated how the packaging was done to protect it and also extras like the information on the art and the tote bag. We love the art work.
