Glitter and nostalgia unite a pair of limited edition prints by Mickalene Thomas.

In Portrait of Maya #10, a muse exudes power from above in a striking pose. In Interior: Red Couch and Landscape, the artist draws us into a nostalgic living space with a previously unseen collage.

“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."
