Sonia Dawn Boyce, MBE (born 1962), is a British Afro-Caribbean artist, living and working in London. She is Professor at Middlesex University〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Prof Sonia Boyce - Professor in Fine Arts - ADRI )〕 and Professor of Black Art and Design at University of the Arts London. ==Background== Born in London, Sonia Boyce studied at Stourbridge College in the West Midlands. She works across a range of media including photography, installation and text.〔Rebecca Fortnum, ''Contemporary British Women Artists: In Their Own Words'', I.B.Tauris, 2007, p. 113. ISBN 1-84511-224-5〕 She came to prominence as part of the Black British cultural renaissance of the 1980s.〔Kwesi Owusu, ''Black British Culture and Society: A Text-Reader'', Routledge, 1999, p. 4. ISBN 0-415-17846-0〕 Her work also references feminism.〔Peggy Phelan and Helena Reckitt, ''Art and Feminism''. London: Phaidon, 2001.〕 Ron Exley (2001) has written: "The effect of her work has been to re-orientate and re-negotiate the position of Black or Afro-Caribbean art within the cultural mainstream." An early exhibition was in 1983 at the Africa Centre London entitled ''Five Black Women''. Boyce's early works were large chalk-and-pastel drawings depicting friends, family and childhood experiences. In them she often included depictions of wallpaper patterns and bright colours associated with the Caribbean and experienced through her own particular background. It has been suggested that through this work the artist examined her position as a black woman in Britain and the historical events in which that experience was rooted.〔Oxford Art Online, www.oxfordartonline.com.〕 In her later works Boyce used diverse media including digital photography to produce composite images depicting contemporary black life. Although her focus is seen to have shifted away from specific ethnic experiences, her themes continue to be the experiences of a black woman living in a white society, and how religion, politics and sexual politics made up that experience.〔 Boyce's works are held in the collection of Tate Modern.〔(Sonia Boyce "Artist biography" ), Tate online.〕 She has taught widely and uses workshops as part of her creative process, and her works can be seen in many national collections. Sonia Boyce was awarded an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List 2007, for services to art.〔("Birthday honours: London list" ), BBC News, 16 June 2007; accessed 6 September 2007.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sonia Boyce」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
