Wangechi Mutu
Wangechi Mutu, lot of 3 unique small ink figurative drawings, contemporary art

2005

About the Item

Lot of three small ink drawings for sale: 1. I Thought I Would Let it All Out! 2. Boo Fucking Who! 3. The Beautiful Ones are not yet Born Wangechi Mutu's small-scale ink drawings demonstrate the artist’s exploration of violence and misrepresentation against women, specifically Black women in contemporary society. These drawings depict the feminine form with elongated limbs and distorted features.The figure’s faces are obscured, yet the text (and title of the work) implies it’s represenation. As described by Kathleen Linn on Mutu: “With third wave feminism’s intention to allow the space for a diversity of interpretations around feminism and the lived experience of women from all around the world Mutu’s work speaks poetically about the breadth and variety of feminisms and the effects of war, violence, poverty and greed on women and more broadly within society.”

    By Margot Glass
    Located in New York, NY
    Margot Glass explores the fragility of communication, and people’s natural drive to find narrative in even the most ordinary of objects. In her Envelopes series, Glass works in watercolor, pencil and silverpoint, using trompe l’oeil to highlight the paper as a still life element. The drawing becomes an object through close compositional cropping and the choice of stiff watercolor board. By omitting text, the artist adds a minimalist element to the vivid representation.
