Nina Chanel Abney Baby:
Nina Chanel’s 'Baby' figure strikingly re-imagines Mickey Mouse as a man dressed in a bright red jumpsuit, with mirroring red circles stamped on the cheeks. Constructed with sharp angles and an asymmetrical mold, the figure is highlighted by a geometric silhouette with cubist-like features, including crooked facial features; and unbalanced shoulders, which slope inwards towards the figure's narrowing legs. The work comes housed in an elegant black & white collector's box illustrated by Abney with varying eye patterns.
