Miranda Forrester fuses the painted with the real-world

 

Falling somewhere between figuration and abstraction, Miranda Forrester’s work is intentionally evocative. Her brushstrokes are delicate yet deliberate, ethereal yet precise. Her landscapes, illuminated with light, feature pale ink washes and a vibrant tapestry of colors—shades of green, red, and blue prevail as her subjects, predominantly Black queer women, come to life within and beyond the canvas. 

 

By creating a dynamic interplay between the painted and the real world, Forrester’s work is a profound meditation on identity, belonging, and visibility that invites the viewer to reconsider their perceptions of beauty, identity, and space.
