Lot Essay

"Easy to swallow, hard to digest. The playfulness of my work is a result of my use of vivid colours and my interest in satirical cartoons. I love the fact that anything taboo suddenly becomes tolerable as long as it’s not 'real'." (Nina Chanel Abney cited in: 'Easy to Swallow, Hard to Digest: An Interview with Nina Chanel Abney’, Live Unchained, March 2011, online).
