Hi everyone, Join us tonight LIVE at 7PM ET / 4PM PT for Considering Complication | Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, facilitated jointly by mark, and you.
Lynette Yiadom-Boakye is a British artist and writer acclaimed for her enigmatic portraits of fictitious people. 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. “I learned how to paint from looking at painting, and I continue to learn from looking at painting. In that sense, history serves as a resource. But the bigger draw for me is the power that painting can wield across time.” Lynette Yiadom-Boakye. In this tour, we embark on a process of unlearning. Together, we explore the construction of narrative. Through close looking, we ask: what constitutes site, place, and time? How might we be complicit in the definition of self? How is identity constructed?
