Facets; Screen Wall 2016

"Facets; Screen Wall" (2016) by Njideka Akunyili Crosby, is a painting that evokes a sense of depth and complexity. The work features a screen made up of intricate, repeating patterns, framed by a simple room with a maroon wall. The screen, with its grid of circular and rectangular shapes, serves as a focal point, suggesting a boundary between interior and exterior spaces. The artwork's visual elements reflect Crosby's fascination with architectural structures and the interplay between cultures, specifically drawing on her experiences in Nigeria and the United States.
