she uses her body in her works to show and celebrate the "black" women and the woman's body also as a retaliation to society as it is/ was / still quite sexist and towards female artists and females and also racist towards her and other Renee Cox continues to push the envelop in her work, questioning society and the roles it gives to blacks and women with her elaborate scenarios and imaginative visuals that offend some and exhilarate others.
in the work below we see the last supper that she has adapted Leonardo's DA vinci last supper to her own interpretation where we see Renee Cox as Jesus which when first was shown caused great up roar. which Renee Cox is trying to show and portray
"I have a right to reinterpret the Last Supper as Leonardo DA Vinci created the Last Supper with people who look like hims.The hoopla and the fury are because I'm a black females. It's about me having nothing to hide."
