In 2025 alone, Abney has mounted solo exhibitions at Jeffrey Deitch in Los Angeles and Chicago’s Gallery Anthony, increasing her exploration of religion and American mythos — from the Warholian cues in FLAGGED to the spiritual-secular tensions of Winging It.
Born in Chicago and now primarily based in New York, Abney has made an indelible mark on the artwork world, refracting the frantic rhythms of up to date life via her daring, graphic varieties. Channelling figuration and abstraction in equal measure, her work sort out themes resembling race, intercourse, movie star, faith and politics, leading to a dense and layered works that mirror the chaos and simultaneity of the occasions.
With nods to greats all through historical past— Matisse’s tonal methods, the cubist legacy of Picasso and an Aaron Douglas-esque aptitude — Abney retools these influences via a contemporary lens, carving her personal path with a vibrant, unflinching readability.
