NINA CHANEL ABNEY
'BIG BUTCH ENERGY/SYNERGY'
Sept. 21, 2023 - Jan. 29, 2024
In Big Butch Energy/Synergy, Nina Chanel Abney brings together recent
large-scale works that examine Black identity and queerness through
coming-of-age narratives. The artist broaches these subjects playfully, creating
approachable images that focus on her personal experiences as a
masculine-of-center woman. Abney executes these works primarily in collage,
streamlining the picture plane with a bold, graphic style that highlights the
subtleties of the expressions and poses of her dynamic figures. Working on a
massive format, she invites viewers to experience the collage’s rich pictorial
spaces on the scale of history painting.

* Artist
In Big Butch Energy/Synergy, Nina Chanel Abney brings together recent
large-scale works that examine Black identity and queerness through
coming-of-age narratives. The artist broaches these subjects playfully, creating
approachable images that focus on her personal experiences as a
masculine-of-center woman. Abney executes these works primarily in collage,
streamlining the picture plane with a bold, graphic style that highlights the
subtleties of the expressions and poses of her dynamic figures. Working on a
massive format, she invites viewers to experience the collage’s rich pictorial
spaces on the scale of history painting.
Nina Chanel Abney, "Pump," 2022, collage on panel, diptych: 96 x 72 in. each.
Courtesy of the artist, Jack Shainman Gallery, New York, and Pace Prints, New
York.
In this body of work, Abney expands on understandings of collegiate storylines
that have centered white hetero characters in popular films like Animal House,
focusing instead on the representation of Black masculine women. The figures in
these grand works play out the routines and dramas of college life in settings
like school dances, sporting events, and the gym, offering glimpses into the
group dynamics and formative life events of Abney’s invented crew of characters.
The artist uses these settings and figures to examine signifiers of maleness and
femaleness, celebrating those who reject normative presentations of gender.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Nina Chanel Abney (b. 1982, Chicago) has been honored with solo exhibitions at
the Museum of Contemporary Art, Cleveland; the Institute of Contemporary Art,
Miami; the Gordon Parks Foundation, Pleasantville, N.Y.; Henry Art Gallery,
Seattle; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; and
the Contemporary Dayton, Ohio. Her solo exhibition at the Nasher Museum of Art
at Duke University, Durham, N.C., toured to the Chicago Cultural Center; the
Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the California African American
Museum, Los Angeles; and the Neuberger Museum of Art, Purchase College, State
University of New York. Abney was recently commissioned to transform Lincoln
Center’s new David Geffen Hall façade in New York, drawing from the cultural
heritage of the neighborhood previously known as San Juan Hill that was composed
of African American, Afro-Caribbean, and Puerto Rican families. Her recent
public mural at the Miami Worldcenter was similarly inspired by the historic
Black neighborhood Overtown. Abney’s work is held in the collections of The
Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; The Museum of Modern Art, New York;
the Brooklyn Museum, New York; the Bronx Museum, New York; the Dallas Museum of
Art; the Rubell Family Collection, Fla.; the Burger Collection, Hong Kong; the
Nasher Museum of Art; and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, among
others.
