Mickalene Thomas, Untitled #14

Mickalene Thomas is a distinguished multidisciplinary visual artist recognized for her ability to merge art-historical, political, and pop-cultural references into dynamic figurative and abstract compositions. Her work challenges traditional narratives of beauty, power, and representation, drawing from a rich tapestry of influences, including 1970s domestic aesthetics, culture, and the legacies of female empowerment.
The medium of a hand-knotted rug naturally aligns with the immersive environments Thomas constructs in her practice—spaces layered with textiles, wallpaper, furniture, and decorative objects that evoke the interiors of her childhood and broader cultural histories. These richly textured settings serve as both homage and critique, exploring identity, memory, and the intersection of personal and collective experience.

Thomas’ work is held in numerous international public and private collections, including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Art Institute of Chicago; MoMA PS1, New York; Brooklyn Museum, New York; and The Studio Museum in Harlem.
