Troy Montes Michie (* 1985) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work intersects collage, identity, and cultural representation, weaving intricate narratives that explore the complexities of race, gender, and power. In his first solo exhibition in Europe at Kunsthalle Basel, he presents new works that challenge conventional depictions of identity, media, and societal norms. His practice blends abstraction and figuration to examine themes of Blackness, queerness, and societal visibility, while critically engaging with the tensions between representation and erasure in contemporary culture. By drawing from archives and mass media, Montes Michie exposes the complexity of the gaze and disrupts dominant narratives, offering a nuanced critique of how powerful groups have targeted marginalized communities for oppression.
