Mickalene Thomas

Coming soon... A special collaboration between Marfa Stance and a Marfa Muse, the incredible artist Mickalene Thomas. A collaboration that blends art, style, and purpose. Stay tuned for a piece that’s as bold and unique as the people who inspires it.

Born and raised in New Jersey and currently residing in Brooklyn NY, Mickalene is one of the most influential artists of today. Her innovative practices and specialised stylistic model of rhinestone-embellished figurative paintings and collages creates instantly recognizable and widely celebrated pieces within contemporary visual culture. Her masterful mixed-media paintings, photographs, films and installations command space, and dissect the intersecting complexities of black and female identity within the Western world.

Together with Founder Georgia Dant, Mickalene has reimagined the iconic Marfa Stance Rain Coat and Hood in a limited run, crafted using hand selected surplus materials that have special meaning to Mickalane.

Mickalene’s work intersects with the world of fashion, most notably with her recent Dior collaboration. Maria Grazia Churi handed the scenography of the brands latest season over to Micklane, who created 13 photo collages of the extraordinary and revolutionary Black women who inspire her, which lined the walls of the runway. The inspiration behind this creative process stemmed from the importance of Black female role models that broke racial barriers by going against the grain and creating a new platform for many others.
