Genesis Tremaine, Gimmie Some Sugar [SIGNED 2025 1ST EDITION 1ST PRINTING - FINE]

Monacelli Press, 2025. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. Monacelli Press, 2025. Hardcover in a rich and tactile faux-leather indigo case with embossed title in gold to front cover intended to evoke a modern Bible (includes a mini-sketchbook insert whose pages reveal the raw, instinctive line drawing studies for Tramaine’s large-scale masterwork paintings, as issued). First Edition, First Printing. 11 x 10 inches. 208 pages filled with over 125 full-color illustrations throughout featuring the artist’s dynamic and enthralling portrait paintings, which are an inextricable homage to her deep faith, sense of self, and her Sunday mornings at church. Accompanying essays by Miciah Hussey and Alexandra M. Thomas. Gimme Some Sugar is the much-anticipated first monograph from Genesis Tramaine, the renowned American artist whose star continues to rise in the international art world. Rooted in her 1980s New York City upbringing and strong spirituality, Tramaine imbues her abstract portraits of men and women with a transcendent emotion, devotion, and soundless musicality, borne from rhythmic brushstrokes and a visceral use of chromatic color. In her gestural style, she seeks, at once, to represent and universalize the humanness of the American Black face by obscuring the specificity of individual features, choosing instead to portray the inner turmoil and inner joy of one’s mind and being. SIGNED by Genesis Tramaine. BOOK CONDITION: Fine/As New (still sealed in the publisher's original shrinkwrap - with SIGNED adhesive applied to shrinkwrap). Fine. Item #5327
