Nina Chanel Abney
Regular price £49.95'This definitive monograph of over 300 images captures both the political urgency and the sheer razzle-dazzle engagement of the contemporary art star’s work — a riot of Pantone shades and playful shapes, executed in several mediums and often daubed with onomatopoeic pops of text.' - New York Times
The highly anticipated debut monograph from trailblazing artist Nina Chanel Abney
Combining representation and abstraction, Nina Chanel Abney’s paintings capture the frenetic pace of contemporary culture. Broaching subjects as diverse as race, celebrity, religion, politics, sex, and art history, her works eschew linear storytelling in lieu of disjointed narratives. Through a bracing use of color and unapologetic scale, Abney’s canvases propose a new type of history painting. The first definitive monograph on this contemporary American artist presents a collection of more than 300 works, including large-scale paintings, works on paper, sculptures, installations, murals, and commercial collaborations, along with a behind-the-scenes look at the artist’s process.
Insightful texts from influential art-world figures and writers underscore Abney’s artistic impact. Strikingly designed, with an eye-catching acetate jacket, vibrant pages, double gatefolds, and curated inserts, Nina Chanel Abney is a celebration of the artist’s distinctively bold style and innovative approach.
One of the New York Times' art books of the year.
