“I Refuse to be Invisible”— Crosby's Powerful Art

2/29/2016

Picture
When you walk into this exhibition at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach to see the the work of Akunyili Crosby, it will stop you cold. It is monumental in size, figurative, yet decorative. And the art of this young, Nigerian-born artist captures unique personal and family moments through a combination of photorealism and collage.


Picture
Ms. Cosby is able to convey both emotion and information in virtually every painting. She focuses on the two things that matter most to her —her birth country of Nigeria and her husband, Justin Crosby, whom she met in the United States, where she has studied art since she was 17. Looking at the paintings, you feel as if you are peaking at private moments such as when she introduced her husband to her family in Nigeria or when the two are out social dancing. That painting is entitled, "I Refuse to Be Invisible," also the title of the exhibition.

One more of Ms. Crosby's objectives is to show the duality in life, nature, emotion, and place. She does that easily in each of her paintings. Don’t miss the opportunity to see her work at the Norton. It will leave you wanting to see more.

    Dear  Culture Lover: 
        Art  and music nourish our souls and imagination, while deepening  our understanding of the world.   
      We are lucky in that in the Palm Beaches--cities from Palm Beach itself to West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach, Delray and Boca--we have a wide variety of art (and music offerings) in "season" and out...
          But where can you find out about the best of these?
    these?    Check out my "Top Picks" for the best art events  of the month in the Palm Beaches... (Eventually we'll add top picks in music too.)
        And read my blog for commentary on these art and music offerings in the Palm Beaches and beyond...
