Chic living meets surrealism in a previously-unseen collage by Mickalene Thomas.

Collage is a foundational element of Thomas’ practice, revealing the conception and intimate stages of her artistic vision. Absent of figures, the stylish interior draws us inside with amalgamation of layers. Each nook waits to be explored, adorned with eclectic patterns and injected with glitter. From the nostalgic living space to the verdant garden outside, we are led to imagine what stories could be told from within the artist’s carefully fashioned space.

Reminiscent of glossy vintage magazines, the print edition is finished with silkscreen layers of metallic shimmer, high gloss and satin varnish, hand-applied glitter and a matte seal.

“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.”
