The highly anticipated debut monograph from trailblazing artist Nina Chanel Abney
Combining representation and abstraction, Nina Chanel Abneys 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, Abneys 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 artists process. Insightful texts from influential art-world figures and writers underscore Abneys 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 artists distinctively bold style and innovative approach.
