Description Presenting paintings of some of the artist's key models and muses, I Can't See You Without Me illuminates the work of Brooklyn painter Mickalene Thomas (born 1971).
Culling from art history and popular culture, Thomas creates scintillating portraits that deconstruct the highly charged connections between sitter, artist and viewer.
Whether depicted as classically composed 19th-century odalisques, Afro-adorned vixens of blaxploitation films or as a powe.
