The Making Of...Odili Donald Odita: 'Shadow and Light (for Julian Francis Abele), 2015'

'In celebration of its 10th anniversary, the Nasher Museum of Art commissioned two murals by Odili Donald Odita to celebrate the connection between the museum and the Duke and Durham communities.  The first mural has been completed on a wall inside the museum, and the second one is being painted on an outside wall of the downtown YMCA.  In imagining the murals, Odita said he was inspired by the work of architect Julian Abele, an African-American who is credited with designing much of Duke's original West Campus, including its iconic Duke Chapel.' -- Duke Today
