‘Across Yiadom-Boakye’s work, resistance and rebellion are central—an approach to painting that resonates profoundly at a time when the Western art historical canon is being necessarily upended, revised, and challenged.’
Jareh Das discusses Lynette Yiadom-Boakye‘s approach to portraiture in Ocula Magazine, on the eve of her solo show at Tate Britain opening (2 December 2020–9 May 2021).
