The debut monograph of Stacey Gillian Abe’s work is created to
accompany her first London solo show at Unit London. Featuring
works spanning her career to date, the book explores the key themes
from Abe’s work and delves deep into her expressive and symbolic
indigo portraits. Shrub-let of Old Ayivu includes insightful
written contributions from Flavia Frigeri, art historian, lecturer
and the Chanel Curator at the National Portrait Gallery and
Serubiri Moses, renowned writer and curator, alongside a
conversation between the artist and Catherine McKinley, curator and
author of the critically acclaimed Indigo: In Search of the Color
that Seduced the World and The Book of Sarahs: A Family in Parts.
Abe’s work reflects her past and her memories, highlighting her
personal experiences and her relationships to her community.
Renowned for her indigo skin-tone paintings, the colour has become
crucial in reshaping narratives surrounding the black body.
