A fusion of chic aesthetics and surrealism takes shape in this previously-unseen collage by Mickalene Thomas. Echoing the allure of vintage glossy magazines, Interior: Red Couch and Landscape (2024) is enriched with silkscreen layers of metallic shimmer, high-gloss and satin varnish, hand-applied glitter, and a matte seal, creating a dynamic interplay of textures.
Collage is at the heart of Thomas’s artistic process, offering a glimpse into the development and intimate nuances of her creative vision. In this piece, the absence of human figures directs attention to the richly layered interior, where each detail invites closer exploration. The space is alive with bold patterns, shimmering embellishments, and a striking interplay of textures. From the nostalgic charm of the living room to the lush greenery beyond, the composition sparks the imagination, encouraging viewers to envision the untold stories embedded within Thomas’s meticulously curated world.
The unapologetic portrait Maya No. 10 (2024), originally conceived as a monumental 8-foot-tall artwork as part of the Broad Collection 2017, is a bold celebration of love and sexuality - conveying strength, beauty, power, and vulnerability all at once. Modes of intimate relations inform Maya No. 10, drawing from a series of photographs (Remember Me, 2006) taken with a 35mm disposable camera by Thomas. The images capture Maya, her muse and lover from years gone by, in their home and basement studio on Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn.
The sensual Maya stands empowered, sparkled, and poised. With her arms raised behind her head like wings spread, she commands her outward gaze and her surroundings, exuding a powerful sense of self-possession through which she emboldens her viewers, forcing them to engage with her.
Her work also celebrates the textures of materials just as she honours the textures and contours of Black womanhood. Drawn to the unconventional, she embraced rhinestones - first out of necessity and later in reference to French Impressionism, particularly Georges Seurat and Pointillism. The rhinestones came to symbolise the complexity of femininity in her work, becoming a defining element of her artistic language. The acrylic and rhinestone composition in the original portrait, transformed into silkscreen overprints and hand-applied glitter in this edition, also embodies Thomas’s signature ability to apply several layers of material and symbolic meaning, unmasking our world of appearances into a single surface while challenging conventional boundaries of technique and medium.
Collage is a foundational element in her practice, revealing the conception and intimate evolution of her artistic vision - visible also in the double exposure on Maya's chest. As Thomas described it, the projected image is almost like an X-ray, peering into Maya’s soul. By layering multiple photographs and juxtaposing painted with photographic elements, Thomas creates a striking depth of field, generating rhythm and movement.
Unifying all these elements in this larger-than-life work, Thomas invites viewers into the bold and dynamic universe she has created in Maya No. 10, from which any viewer would be unable to divert their gaze.

Mickalene Thomas
Although she’s best known for her vibrant and textural collage portraits of Black women, contemporary artist Mickalene Thomas is in fact a master of many mediums, including photography, video, sculpture and printmaking. Born in Camden, New Jersey, and raised by her mother, a fashion model, Thomas enrolled in after-school art classes at the Newark Museum of Art in Newark, New Jersey, and the Henry Street Settlement in New York City as a child. Later, she would earn fine art degrees from Pratt Institute and Yale University.
Inspired in part by her strong, matriarchal upbringing and her own identity as a queer Black woman, Thomas focuses on female power, beauty and sexuality in her works. She cites a 1990s-era exhibition of Carrie Mae Weems’s work at the Portland Art Museum in Oregon as being critically important to her becoming an artist. In her work, Thomas commonly pulls from the art history canon, riffing frequently on the styles and compositions of early modernists such as Gustave Courbet, Édouard Manet and Henri Matisse, as well as more contemporary artists like Romare Bearden and David Hockney. She recontextualizes their paintings by restaging them with Black subjects, using signature materials like rhinestones, enamel and acrylic paint to profound effect. Relatedly, for a collaboration with Dior, Thomas reinvented the house’s iconic Bar jacket and Lady Dior handbag to become, essentially, wearable Claude Monet landscapes.
Thomas also investigates the idea of Black celebrity in her work, painting portraits of such Black icons as Whitney Houston, Oprah Winfrey and Eartha Kitt. In 2008, Thomas painted the first individual silkscreen portrait of then–First Lady Michelle Obama, which was exhibited for the first time in the National Portrait Gallery’s “Americans Now” show.
Thomas’s work can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Brooklyn Museum of Art, among others. She has received such accolades as the Timerhi Award for Leadership in the Arts in 2010, the Brooklyn Museum Asher B. Durand Award in 2012 and the Anonymous Was a Woman Award in 2013. In 2015, Thomas was named a USA Francie Bishop Good & David Horvitz Fellow.

With the use of crochet and the compartmentalisation of forms, Vasconcelos reiterates the concept that individuals frequently behave and exist separately from their conscience, showing a lack of sufficient scrutiny of their perceptions. The paradox of lace is highlighted, as it served as a means for Portuguese women to address the emptiness in their lives, representing the sole form of expression in response to an entirely passive social...
