LaTonia Allen is a multidisciplinary artist based in the Bronx, NY. Her work centers around conversations exploring psychoanalytic theory when thinking about agency and the body, time, and performative behavior around the self. Creating portraits from working primarily with oil, acrylic, textile and collage on canvas, LaTonia has recently began researching immersing her body into performance. She uses line, symbolism and color to explore spaces of contemplation about interiority and contrite as a black woman in society.
