![]() ![]() The works that will be on view in Los Angeles, where the artist works and lives, bring multiple places and temporalities together within single compositions. The resulting works are visual tapestries that vivify the personal and social dimensions of contemporary life while evocatively expressing the intricacies of African diasporic identity. In her methodically layered compositions, Akunyili Crosby combines painted depictions of people, places, and subjects from her life with photographic transfers derived from her personal image archive as well as Nigerian magazines and other mass media sources. The exhibition will travel to David Zwirner’s New York gallery, opening in September 2023. Born in Nigeria, Akunyili Crosby moved to the United States as a teenager in 1999, and her work reflects her hybrid cultural background and experiences. This will be Akunyili Crosby’s first solo exhibition with David Zwirner. The exhibition will inaugurate the gallery’s 616 North Western Avenue location in Los Angeles. © Stan Douglasĭavid Zwirner to open new Los Angeles space with Coming Back to See Through, Again, an exhibition of new and recent work by Njideka Akunyili Crosby. © Njideka Akunyili Crosby Stan Douglas, ISDN, 2022 (still). ![]() ![]() Njideka Akunyili Crosby, Potential, Displaced, 2021 (detail). ![]()
