| book description |

A groundbreaking andÂ essential survey of the art of Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, offering an in-depth discussion of the development of the artist and positioning her work within a wider history of portraiture. Lynette Yiadom-Boakye: Fly In League With The NightÂ celebrates the work of one of the most significant and acclaimed figurative painters of her generation. Fact and fiction fuse in Yiadom-Boakyeâ€™s paintings: they appear to be portraits, yet the people she depicts are not real but invented. Created from a composite of found images and her own imagination, her characters seem to exist outside of a specific time or place: they feel at once familiar yet mysterious. This ambiguity resonates again in the enigmatic titles she gives to her artworks. The artist is also a writer of poetry and prose, and for her, the two forms of creativity complement each other: â€˜The things I canâ€™t paint, I write, and the things I canâ€™t write, I paint.â€™Â This perceptive and engaging publication provides a comprehensive account of Yiadom-Boakyeâ€™s practice over the past two decades. With contributions by the celebrated poet Elizabeth Alexander and curators Andrea Schlieker and Isabella Maidment, alongside new writing by Yiadom-Boakye,Â Fly In League With The NightÂ reflects the dual aspects of the artistâ€™s career as both a painter and a writer and offers an intimate insight into her creative process.
