The artwork titled “Adult Female Sexual Organs,” created by Wangechi Mutu in 2005, is a piece within the Feminist Art movement and falls under the figurative genre.
The artwork presents a composite image that fuses various elements to form a compelling composition. The central focus is an abstracted female figure achieved through the collage technique, combining different textures, colors, and materials. The piece prominently features a bold profile of a woman, accentuated with rich, dark tones for the face, and vibrant red hues for her attire. The fragmented assembly includes glossy, conspicuous lips and an element resembling white cotton or wool, contributing to a sense of layered complexity. The background is minimally treated, allowing the striking figure to dominate the visual space. The art piece culminates in expressing themes pertinent to feminist discourse, through its evocative and multi-layered visual narrative.
