Mickalene Thomas creates rhinestone-encrusted paintings, photographs, collages and interiors centered on Black women, self-fashioning and art-historical representation. Drawing on 1970s décor, fashion photography, Édouard Manet and Henri Matisse, she builds images that are glamorous, constructed and self-aware.
