Description: Embracing a pop-surrealist style, Nina Chanel Abney makes large-scale canvases that feature cartoonish figures, flat planes of bold color, overlapping shapes, and scattered numbers, letters, and symbolic objects. Contemporary culture, racial conflict, and sexuality are recurring themes, and Abney draws from autobiography, current events, and traditional storytelling to construct her scenes. In Abney’s “Always a Winner” series, for example, police batons become phallic symbols and clown makeup suggests the absurdity of racial injustice, celebrity news, and the internet era at large. Since obtaining her MFA at Parsons School of Design in 2007, Abney has exhibited in New York, Chicago, London, and São Paulo, among other cities. Her work has been acquired by the Brooklyn Museum, the Rubell Museum, and the Burger Collection in Hong Kong and has sold for six figures on the secondary market.
