Renee Cox

Renee Cox creates stunning and controversial photographs. Cox uses her own self, nude and clothed to celebrate black womanhood and create dialogue around a still racist and sexist society. Often incorporating religious imagery as further critique of social structures, Cox's work can be shocking in the blatant way she depicts lack of integrity from those who hold trust.
