Though her subjects are people conjured in her imagination, Yiadom-Boakye imbues her portraits with a near-tangible spirit through her deliberate brush strokes and rich dark tones.\n\nThe result is paintings that seem to exist outside of time while still remaining grounded in reality. This lavishly illustrated volume of nearly 80 paintings and drawings―some of which have never been exhibited before―accompanies the first major survey of Yiadom-Boakyes work, shown at Tate Britain. In addition to new fiction writing by the artist, this publication includes in-depth thematic essays on Yiadom-Boakyes artistic development, reflecting the dual aspects of the artists career as both a painter and a writer and offering an intimate insight into her creative process.\nLynette Yiadom-Boakye (born 1977) is a British artist and writer acclaimed for her atmospheric oil paintings that depict imagined sitters in dark color palettes, executed with a contemporary sensibility while still rooted in an art historical practice. She attended Central Saint Martins School of Art and Design, Falmouth College of Art and the Royal Academy Schools. In 2018, she was awarded the prestigious Carnegie Prize.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Distributed Art Publishers (DAP)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44974464434229,"sku":"ByrdShop_1942884656","price":855.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781942884651_a96d716e-74b5-4db9-bbbb-949976fabbf8.jpg?v=1781294874","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/lynette-yiadomboakye-fly-in-league-with-the-night-9781942884651","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
