Nina Chanel Abney
Hardback
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.
A collection of more than 300 works, this first definitive monograph on the artist, explores Abney's distinctively bold style that harnesses the flux and simultaneity that has come to define life in the 21st century.Buy now!
