Open all weekend. Step into ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, Mickalene Thomas's solo exhibition at the Shepherd.
Pictured here is "A Momentโs Pleasure with Us: Right," part of an entirely new body of work created for the exhibition.
As curator notes: โIn this new body of work, she extends that creative arc for the first time to focus on masculinity, deepening the same concerns of beauty, agency and representation. โ
โ
Working with a range of models, including non-binary and trans men, Thomas creates images that challenge dominant representations and make space for sensuality and strength within portrayals of Black masculinity, offering a broader view of how it is constructed, how it is experienced, and the quiet, often overlooked presence of vulnerability within it."โ
