Art gallerist Hannah Traore made an unforgettable statement at the opening of her gallery’s new group exhibition, “Hues,” in New York City. For the major art world event on September 25, 2025, Traore transformed herself into a living sculpture, arriving in nothing but a coat of vibrant green body paint and a tiny black thong. The powerful and artistic look was a collaboration with artist Shani Crowe, paying homage to an iconic photograph of Grace Jones. Her audacious and beautiful decision to become a piece of performance art herself was the ultimate celebration of the exhibition’s theme, which explores the power and meaning of color.
