Mickalene Thomas brings together two defining strands of her practice in a limited edition print set.

This pairing unites La Maison de Monet (2022) – an architectural composition where home and garden blur into ever-shifting spaces – with Portrait of Qusuquzah #8 (2008), a signature portrait that captures unapologetic complexity and layered identity. Together, they showcase the range and visual richness that have established Thomas as one of contemporary art's most distinctive voices.

Each print is crafted with an intricate silkscreen process, featuring metallic shimmer layers alongside gloss and matte varnishes that preserve the complexity of Thomas's celebrated mixed-media aesthetic.

Behind the scenes

A short film detailing the process behind the printmaking.
Portrait of Mickalene Thomas
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."
