Hera - Timed Auction

Miranda Forrester explores the queer Black female gaze in painting vis a vis the history of men painting womxn naked. Her work addresses the invisibility of Black womxn in the western history of art. She investigates how painting is able to re-articulate the language and history of life drawing through a queer Black feminist and desiring lens. In doing so, she depicts what the male gaze may not be able to see. Since graduating from the University of Brighton with a BA in Fine Art Painting, her work has been featured in several group and solo exhibitions at key galleries and museums, such as the Saatchi Gallery, Tiwani Contemporary and Christie’s Education. Her work is included in public and private collections, including The Arts Council Collection and Soho House collection.
