Mickalene Thomas unveils a new multi-layered limited edition print in which architecture and landscape intertwine.
A portrait of Monet through his house and garden, La Maison de Monet is a prime example of Mickalene's architectural compositions. Translating an original work from 2022 – a combination of photomontage, acrylic paint and rhinestone embellishment – the artwork presents home and garden as ever-shifting spaces alive with memory and change.
This limited edition print is the result of an intricate silkscreen process, featuring metallic shimmer layers alongside gloss and matte varnishes, preserving the complexity and visual richness of the original mixed-media 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."
