Njideka Akunyili Crosby on painting cultural collision

Nigerian-born painter Njideka Akunyili Crosby often grapples with dual ideas of home in her work. She discusses how she studied European figurative painting at an art academy, but now uses her traditional training to invent, transform, and express her uniquely hybrid point of view.

Her sense of color and composition with such bold contrasting silhouettes is absolutely amazing

i would love to support this artist and to buy a print of one of her creations (i know i wouldn't be able to afford an original) - any pointers where I could by her art? :)

Google her. She might have a website or a social media page. If she does not have a personal page for selling her artwork. Google Galleries that represent Nijideka Akunyili Crosby.
