Pastel, oil stick, paint and collage on painted 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.
Titled B&R (blue and red), these vibrant unique works are intensely personal and reflect the simultaneous tension and closeness which can often be experienced in personal relationships. For the artist, the collaged elements here represent the complexity of layered relationships and, she says, ‘how we move between states of love, frustration and anger’.
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
