Description

Somaya Critchlow Paintings by Amanda Renshaw is a comprehensive monograph that showcases the artist's unique approach to portraiture. Critchlow's canvases and sketchbooks reveal an ongoing process of world-building, drawing upon her extensive knowledge of picture-making traditions from the Renaissance to the Rococo. The artist's fantasy landscapes feature voluptuous, self-possessed women who blend aesthetics from Love and Hip Hop with those of the past, challenging our perceptions of high and low culture. By exploring these realms, Critchlow disarms distinctions between class and racial difference, uncovering the ways in which they are routinely conflated. This book offers a unique insight into Critchlow's artistic vision, inviting readers to consider the disparate ways we esteem different forms of culture and the women they feature.
