Lynette Yiadom-Boakye: Fly in League with the Night, Tate Britain, 18th November to 9th May 2021
Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, a British painter of Ghanaian descent, is known for her mysterious paintings. Her imagined black subjects are summoned onto canvas, often within a single day, in an intense, moody palette of rich browns, blacks, dark greens or blues and brilliant whites. Despite their stillness, the figures have a spontaneous liveliness. This extensive survey brings together around 80 works from 2003 to the present day.
