Mickalene Thomas

Mickalene Thomas’s work explores notions of black beauty and power through romanticized depictions of African American women in intimate domestic settings. Her work has been included in many group exhibitions including “Wild Girls” (Exit Art, 2006), “Frequency” (Studio Museum of Harlem, 2005) and “Greater New York” (PS1/MoMA, 2005). Thomas recently had a solo exhibition at Rhona Hoffmann Gallery, Chicago.
