Akunyili's Daughter, Njideka Crosby Wins Joyce Alexander Artist Prize by 247frolicboss(m): 8:11am On Oct 30, 2015 |

The Studio Museum in Harlem made the announcement on Monday, October 26, revealing that it was bestowing its Wein Prize – a $50,000 award won in the past by esteemed artists like Lorna Simpson, Glenn Ligon and Trenton Doyle Hancock – to the Nigerian-born painter who has lived and worked in the United States for many years.

Ms. Crosby, 32, who recently moved to Los Angeles, has become known for large-scale paintings that depict African and American domestic scenes. The scenes are visually complicated with collage elements drawn from Nigerian lifestyle magazines, her own photo albums and the Internet, works that, as Smithsonian Magazine wrote, "explore a complex topic – the tug she feels between her adopted home in America and her native country." Ms. Crosby’s work has recently been featured in a solo show at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles and was included in the New Museum’s 2015 Triennial. The prestigious Victoria Miro gallery in London began to represent Ms. Crosby earlier this year, and her work is now the subject of anexhibition at the gallery, organized by the critic Hilton Als. Thelma Golden, the Studio Museum’s director, said Ms. Crosby was chosen because of her work’s “great innovation and promise” and also because she “truly represents the global nature of the Studio Museum’s mission and reach.” [img]http://4.bp..com/-cecKcb7uB58/VjKVCZhn73I/AAAAAAAHI1E/-hi5aEj1K7c/s1600/1.jpg[/img] http://www.metronaija.com/2015/10/late-dora-akunyilis-daughter-njideka.html 31 Likes 2 Shares |

Smart child of an extraordinary woman... Nuff Respect.. Keep doing your country proud.. Even if she's adopted US as her home, She's still the great Dora's spawn with her roots firmly here.. Nigeria is blessed, harnessing it is our problem.. Hopefully we will get it right someday.. 18 Likes 1 Share |

I don't know her but for the sake of her Patriotic mother, I say congrats. RIP Dora The only fearless Igbo woman I know. She fought her kinsmen for their adulterated ways to the extent they sent assassin after her. If not for divine protection. We know your fellow Igbo country men killed you with their diabolical way, but one day, their cup will full. |
