Nina Chanel Abney (American, b 1982) "Untitled (Black Soap)" 2007, 19 ft. triptych painting, acrylic on canvas, label on reverse from Kravets Wehby Gallery NY, measures 64" x 229" overall. In a 2009 interview for Whitehot Magazine of Contemporary Art, Steven Heighton said of this painting, "I bought the first Abney sold in a gallery a couple of years back, a 19 ft. long monster of a painting. It's still the most politically charged work she's ever done. She depicts white people washing themselves with black soap to atone for their guilt over slavery." The painting was included in the exhibition "Pink Polemic" at the Kravets Wehby Gallery, June 28-August 21, 2007. Nina Chanel Abney is a 38 year old New York based African-American artist who explores topics of race, gender, pop culture, celebrity, homophobia, religion and politics in her work.
