Class of 2020: Miya Browne

BA (Hons) Fine Art Mixed Media, University of Westminster.

“Rejecting colour and femininity I choose to use an achromatic palette. Dressed in black overalls – builder aesthetic – I am ready to go to work. Domestic feminine abilities are present in my use of multitasking, exploring ideas of gender and race through ‘blackness’ and ‘masculinity’ – performing, embodying painting. Man-spreading my female form, taking on the archetype of an ‘artist’, my work questions Euro-patriarchal knowledge and the Female gaze.”
