Lynette Yiadom-Boakye’s “Fly in League with the Night”

“Fly in League with the Night” is the first-ever major survey of the figurative painter Lynette Yiadom-Boakye. Featuring more than 70 paintings, the exhibition spans nearly 20 years of the British artist’s career, including works from her graduate show up through new creations never before presented. Entirely imagined within the artist’s mind, Yiadom-Boakye’s mysterious human subjects are captured in dramatic tones, devoid of any specific time or place—which leaves much open to the interpretation of the viewer.
