  • 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 to the TATE GALLERY because my husband and I planned to go to the Exhibition, last Autumn .

    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).

    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.
