Pastel, oil stick and silver leaf on watercolour paper, 25 × 17.5cm
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 turquoise, silver and rusty orange unframed mixed media drawing on paper is number seven in a group of works inspired by a recent trip to Bali and Lombok.
