Njideka Akunyili's acrylic painting over photocopies combines figurative, domestic scenes with the cacophony of globalism and traditional decorative motifs.
Wow.
I'm betting the pixilated representation loses a lot.
Still, wow.

Oh, weird, looks like none of my comments from earlier today posted (I can't imagine I got deleted across the board):
I doubt they're archival, because while the xerox transfers can be put on archival paper, I doubt that the toner itself is. Possible, though, especially if she's being vague about "xerox transfers" and means some other process based on static xerography.

If it's just black toner it will be archival if the paper is archival. Color is harder.
I like the way in which these are clearly conscious intentional riffs on Bearden's work. Really interesting images!
