I Still Face You 2015

Njideka Akunyili Crosby’s 2015 painting "I Still Face You" depicts a group of people in a domestic setting, most likely a family gathering. The artist’s signature style is visible, using a collage-like technique where she combines oil paint, acrylic, and fabric on canvas to create a highly textured and layered surface. The use of patterned fabrics, particularly African wax prints, is a recurring motif in Crosby’s work, referencing her Nigerian heritage and exploring themes of identity, memory, and diaspora. The warm color palette and the intimate scene convey a sense of togetherness and family bonding. "I Still Face You" reflects the artist’s ability to bridge cultural and geographical boundaries through her powerful and personal artwork.
