Mickalene Thomas — Portrait de Priscilla la Petite Chienne Deux :)
Mickalene Thomas

Portrait de Priscilla la Petite Chienne Deux :)

"Portrait de Priscilla la Petite Chienne Deux :)" showcases Mickalene Thomas's signature maximalist aesthetic, combining archival inkjet printing with tactile materials including fabric and sequin embellishments on premium Hahnemühle paper. The work exemplifies Thomas's playful approach to portraiture and her interest in decorative excess as a means of celebrating her subjects, in this case a beloved dog. By merging digital printing technology with handcrafted collage elements, Thomas creates a richly textured surface that challenges traditional distinctions between fine art and craft.

Medium
