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 the first in a body of new works made in early 2025. Titled B&Y (blue and yellow), the imagery is intensely personal, having been informed by a plethora of emotions and states including frustration, interdependence, love, and anger.
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
