It's the first solo exhibition tour for the Ghanaian portrait painter and rising star of the art world, who has collaborated with Dior and sent his art into space.
You might get a little chill down your spine when you enter the first floor of the Hamilton Building at the. It's not a bad feeling: It's the tingle of recognizing that you are witnessing the work of an artist of uncommon power, skill and presence.
"The show has also kind of become this diary of six years in his life," says Ossei-Mensah."So we thought it would be appropriate for those who haven't seen that many of his works, or you're seeing the works for the first time, that you engage him fully formed — as an artist who is very clear about the practice, clear about the intentions, clear about what they want you to experience.
As the title of his show would suggest, Boafo is truly gifted at capturing the spirit of his subjects, whether that reflects ecstatic friendship in"Libby and D-Lee" or deep introspection in his own self-portraits. Also important to the show's experience is how Boafo highlights the Black gaze.
