Description:
|
|
Mickalene Thomas (born January 28, 1971) is a contemporary African-American visual artist best known as a painter of complex works using rhinestones, acrylic, and enamel. This is a portrait of her mother, Sandra Bush, a former model in the 1970s. Rhinestones serve to as an added layer of meaning and a metaphor for artifice. Rhinestones accentuate specific elements of each painting, while subtly confronting our assumptions of what is feminine and what defines a woman, specifically black women. Thomas’s subjects are virtually always women of color; a means to portray and empower the women and celebrate their culture and beauty. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
