- Lynette Yiadom-Boakye is a British artist and writer acclaimed for her enigmatic portraits of fictitious people. This exhibition brings together around 80 works from 2003 to the present day in the most extensive survey of the artist’s career to date.
The figures in Yiadom-Boakye’s paintings are not real people - she creates them from found images and her own imagination. Both familiar and mysterious, they invite viewers to project their own interpretations, and raise important questions of identity and representation.
Often painted in spontaneous and instinctive bursts, her figures seem to exist outside of a specific time or place. Her paintings are coupled with poetic titles, such as Tie the Temptress to the Trojan 2016 and To Improvise a Mountain 2018. Writing is central to Yiadom-Boakye’s artistic practice, as she has explained: ‘I write about the things I can’t paint and paint the things I can’t write about.’

Since 2012, Lynette YIADOM BOAKE becomes my favourite absolute painter. Her " palette " is totally breathtaking, the paintings are powerful and real poetry !
Mrs YIADOM BOAKE '" coup de pinceau " blows my mind .

Thank you for posting. This artist is amazing. I hope I get to see some of them in real life.
Absolutely incredible work. The depth in the art is so mesmerizing, drawing you into every piece individually. I definitely want a piece of her work for my collection. My favorite piece is the man with the pink (glove/hand).
Very beautiful, powerful and delicated paintings

Would love to know what the music is! Particularly the last track
Daydreaming of devil's 😈👌
Did someone mention devils? 😈
@@MarinaAndTheDevil 😉 oi oi!
Beautiful paintings but there’s nothing contemporary about them no matter how you look at them.
Black!
Lovely Black Manet, speaking politacally incorrect ;)
It’s about time we see African Americans in art
The way art is talked about is so pretentious, contrived and grandiose; it's demeaning.
@@mazolab Spot on, so many points covered so well!
I think the point 'Damned by faint praise' is very pertinent; seems 'ordinary' folk have such reverence for Art Experts that they can't bring themselves to critique or contest them, they seem to want to agree with them and be associated with their interpretations, and conclusions, instead.
@@mazolab I loved every bit of your commentary, I will definitely come back to understand every word you said.
I'd love to see your paintings too : ), if you don't mind sharing via email Iraschrazad@yahoo.com, we can also talk more about your valid views on what visual art has become. thank you
Wow the emotion and intricacy these paintings exude is so strong - its breathtaking
My God, my God, my goodness. What an amazing painter. Thanks Tate for this wonderful gift!
