About the Item
"American Cheese" is an original artwork by Eustace Mamba and measures 24"h x 24"w x 1.5"d. The artists cuts, arranges, sews, and collages fabric and paints to create layers of texture and color. This piece is signed en verso and ships with a gallery-issued Certificate of Authenticity.
Mamba feverishly documents his surroundings, characterizing the historical and cultural charge of his neighborhood while also being inspired by passersby. His process swells as he introduces found materials to build his characters: cigar wrappers, cardboard, fabric, and foil are identifiable yet are expertly tied together through Mamba’s signature sewn patterns and neon underpainting. His visible sewing notably brings together disparate objects to form engaging portraits or subway scenes, highlighting the labor and care he takes in constructing his artwork. He does not shy from recycling or deconstructing a work in progress back into raw material for his next piece. He leaves stitching as a token of memory as if his thread ties together the collective memory of his community near and far. Mamba leans into the necessity of using found material or old paintings, as each upcycled textile holds a story that is yet to be discovered and can be given a second life through his work.
Eustace Mamba (b. 1992, NYC, USA) is an artist and designer whose interdisciplinary practice spans painting, collage, street photography, and mixed-media design. Rooted in his West Indian heritage and Manhattan upbringing, his work explores identity, community, and the fluidity of American life. Drawing from illustration, he constructs narratives that blend observation with invention, portraying both personal and collective experiences. Through repurposed materials and sewn elements, he challenges Western image norms while threading together themes of resilience and transformation.
Mamba holds an MFA and BFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. His work has been exhibited widely and is included in the collections of the Woodmere Art Museum, the Petrucci Family Foundation Collection of African American Art, and the Museum at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
