Abstract:

Victor Ekpuk's new mural at the North Carolina Museum of Art was commissioned to augment the museum’s expanded African art gallery. Rendered in white chalk on a black wall, Ekpuk's symbolic composition forms an abstracted figure wrapping long arms around the perimeter. The mural’s meaning reflects the current social-political climate in America, but can be interpreted several ways.
