Wangechi Mutu - Profile |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mutu unveils and magnifies the misconceptions used to define African people, particularly women, who were depicted as malformed, hyper-sexual or un-evolved. Her visual allegories are filled with hybrid creatures that carry traces of these sinister representations, and yet it is these same mythological heroes she uses to dispose of this tradition of distortion. In her collages on mylar sheets and site-specific wall drawings Wangechi Mutu continues an artistic strategy that lets elements of the works spill over onto the surrounding walls and expand the works beyond the two-dimensional surface. She turns our desire to be enraptured by the unknown, to be fascinated by what scares us and frightened by what we desire into a powerful appeal to read and re-examine. Wangechi Mutu graduated with an MFA degree from Yale University in 2000 and received her BFA at Cooper Union College, New York. Her work was recently included in several important Group shoes.
