Pastel, oil stick, paint and collage on paper, 56.5 × 76cm
Siphiwe Mnguni's practice navigates the notion of identity whilst exploring the iconography of the black female nude in relation to her own body. Challenging traditional representations of the figure in western art history, Siphiwe's work is also informed by subconscious thought and her own experiences as a young British-Zimbabwean woman living in south east London.
This unframed mixed media piece is part of a body of work titled ‘A Sudden Tug’. It features one of the artist’s impactful abstracted forms which seems to dance on the page, perhaps attracted to the planetary object above it. Collage and texture is important within the artist’s work, representing the layered interactions and complex relationships that she experiences as she moves through life.
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
