Amy Sherald is celebrated for her impactful portraits of cultural figures like Michelle Obama and Breonna Taylor, using grayscale to challenge racial representations in art. Her upcoming March 24, 2025 cover features a tea cup prominently, a nod to her narrative styles influenced by 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.' Sherald's use of props and costumes enriches her storytelling, with her first solo exhibition 'American Sublime' opening at the Whitney on April 9, showcasing her continued exploration of identity and race in portraiture.
In Sherald's first cover for the magazine, the viewer's eye is initially drawn to a large tea cup in the foreground, showcasing her iconic style.
Sherald cites Lewis Carroll's 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' as a source of inspiration, using props and costumes to create fantastical narratives.
