At the heart of her painting practice is invention, breathing life into the people that emerge on her canvases. The nature of Yiadom-Boakye\u0026rsquo;s work, also offers the viewer the generous opportunity to find the familiar or the idiosyncratic in these characters. With this interpretative quality to Yiadom-Boakye\u0026rsquo;s work, it has also meant that it can be drawn into discourses or representational lenses that might be considered reductive in relation to the artist\u0026rsquo;s own ideas and intentions. For the artist, her paintings have never been specifically about foregrounding race. However, it can typically be the case that Yiadom-Boakye\u0026rsquo;s works are understood as being about black representation and identity. This common reading, though not necessarily incorrect, ultimately provides a one-dimensional understanding of her work, foregrounding a racialised gaze over the artist\u0026rsquo;s exploration of figuration and free invention.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eDe schilderijen van Lynette Yiadom-Boakye zijn tegelijk raadselachtig en levendig, het zijn portretten van fictieve mensen. Centraal in haar schilderpraktijk staat vindingrijkheid, ze blaast nieuw leven in de mensen die op haar doeken verschijnen. Ze biedt de kijker ook de kans om het bekende, of nu net het idiosyncratische, in deze personages te ontdekken. Deze interpretatieve kwaliteit van het werk van Yiadom-Boakye zorgt er ook voor dat ze gelinkt kunnen worden aan vertogen of representaties die we, vergeleken bij de eigen idee\u0026euml;n en bedoelingen van de kunstenares, als redundant kunnen zien. Voor Yiadom-Boakye gingen haar schilderijen bijvoorbeeld nooit specifiek over \u0026lsquo;ras\u0026rsquo;, hoewel ze dus vaak worden opgevat als werken die iets zeggen over zwarte representatie en identiteit. Deze vaak-voorkomende lezing, hoewel niet noodzakelijkerwijs onjuist, geeft uiteindelijk een eendimensionaal begrip van haar werk, want zo komen haar onderzoek naar figuratie en haar vrije vindingrijkheid in de schaduw te staan van een raciale blik op het werk.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"locations":[{"country":"GB","place":"London","category":{"en":"Born in","nl":"Geboren in","fr":"Né à"}}]}
