Born in 1972, Nairobi, Kenya, Lives and works in New York
Untitled, 2004: Mixed media collage and painting on vellum: 44.5 x 47cm
Backlash Blues: 2004: ink, acrylic, photocollage, contact paper, on mylar: 198 x 119.4 cm
Painted on mylar, Wangechi Mutu’s Backlash Blues conveys an otherworldly quality: the paint and ink suspends on the plasticy vellum-like surface with an unnatural luminosity.
Using a variety of techniques from airbrush to stencilling, controlled spills, and detailed brushwork, Mutu’s image poses as a composite of gesture; collaged photographic elements merge seamlessly into the painterly aesthetic.

In Untitled, Wangechi Mutu
creates a glamorous, yet barbaric centrefold.
In picturing female sexuality, Mutu offers a
futuristic totality of womanhood that’s both fiery and liberated.
Comprised of motorcycle parts, she’s a machine built for speed:
corpulent, sexy, with the dazzling power creation.
