Late Dora Akunyili’s daughter, Njideka Akunyili Crosby is currently making waves in the art world abroad. She is based in Los Angeles and dozens of wealthy collectors are queuing to buy her latest works.
Ms Crosby’s first European solo show will open at the Victoria Miro Gallery in London on October 4th. She works mostly on paper, creating large-scale interiors that combine serene human figures with dense areas of collage and image-transfer that subtly radiate her Nigerian heritage.
“Her paintings have a distinct vocabulary,” says Glenn Scott Wright, a director at Victoria Miro, which represents Ms Crosby. “You can go around an art fair with 10,000 works and you would know hers immediately.”
