"Madeleine or Nana Patchwork" exemplifies Niki de Saint Phalle's signature style of colorful, exuberant figuration through its combination of painted resin, fabric, glue, and wire mesh construction. The work belongs to her celebrated Nana series, which features boldly rounded female forms celebrating feminine power and body positivity through vibrant patterns and mixed media techniques. Saint Phalle's playful assembly of materials and vivid palette transform industrial and humble components into a joyous celebration of sculptural form.
