The artwork entitled “I Still Face You,” created by Njideka Akunyili Crosby in 2015, belongs to the Postcolonial art movement and falls within the genre painting category.
The artwork depicts a vivid and intimate scene featuring a group of individuals gathered around a table in a domestic setting. The figures are adorned in richly patterned and textured clothing, reflective of diverse cultural influences. The background is layered with an array of images and patterns, creating a collage-like effect that evokes a sense of history, memory, and identity. The deliberate use of varied textures and overlapping imagery adds depth and complexity to the scene, inviting the viewer to explore the nuanced interplay between the figures and their environment. The composition and use of color highlight the themes of connection, cultural heritage, and the personal narratives woven into the fabric of postcolonial identity.
