Mickalene Thomas

“This is not a simple collection, it involves travel, dialogue, collaboration, exchange, discovery and demonstrating what unites us.”

She talks to i-D about photographing her mother nude and appreciating the struggle of being an artist.

Her pop-inflected poems will inspire you to get rid of your old volume of Robert Frost.

As she opens a group show at David Castillo Gallery in Miami, the US artist-curator talks collaboration, the African diaspora, and the political act of art making.

As Domestic Unrest, an exhibition of works by Rosson Crow, Francesca DiMattio and Mickalene Thomas opens at the Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, we talk to Rosson about sexism in the art world, dark psychologies and the recent onslaught of digitalisation.
