Postcolonialism

An artist that I have discoverd was Kara Walker, who is a contemporary artist deals with physical,emotional,personal,racial,historical and sexual.And I think she is a prefect artist to relate to Post-colonialism.
She uses silhoutte illustration which is similar to the pre-mickey mouse cartoons. And the images in her works are mostly monotone(black with a simple white background) which could also relate to her African American heritage, because of the stereotype imagery that Post-colonial settlers used to provide visual stimulus for those in Britain and part of Europe.
For example in this work:



I can see that the little girl is in black who looks like shes crying is surrounded by a white colour.This could represent the Africian being slave in America.This work had made me realise that although she has no texts or words in her works,she could explain the message that she wants to deliver to the viewers clearly by some simple techniques and this is what successful about this artist.
