Nina Chanel Abney
The artists you may not realise you know very well. You have seen her work on Converse, Jordans, even Uno Cards. You may have also peeped her work on the walls of Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz.
Now get to know the artist on her terms - this long-awaited debut monograph celebrating the fearless vision of Nina Chanel Abney is finally here.
Her paintings are a wild collision of representation and abstraction—a visual rollercoaster through race, celebrity, religion, politics, sex, and art history all at once.
No boring linear narratives here; Abney throws convention out the window with disjointed storytelling, explosive color, and unapologetic scale. This definitive collection showcases over 300 works spanning large-scale paintings, sculptures, installations, murals, and beyond, plus an exclusive peek into her creative process.
Essays from major art-world voices highlight just how game-changing her practice really is. The book itself is a stunner—eye-catching acetate jacket, vibrant spreads, double gatefolds, and thoughtful inserts throughout. It's not just a monograph; it's a full celebration of Abney's bold, boundary-pushing aesthetic.
