Lynette Yiadom-Boakye: No Twilight Too Mighty

The exhibition presents a selection of over 70 paintings and charcoal drawings from 2020 to 2023 on display for the first time. It provides a rich opportunity to observe the continuum in the artist’s practice of creating evocative paintings that relate to the human experience. Yiadom-Boakye has recently returned to making charcoal drawings, which have a sense of immediacy given their intimate scale and air of improvisation. Seen in tandem with the paintings, the depth of the artist’s skillful handling of different media is evident.

The exhibition is organised in response to the relationships and dialogues that occur among the drawings and paintings. Visitors may enter the exhibition at any of the four galleries to view the marks, gestures and musings that make up No Twilight Too Mighty. A playlist compiled by Yiadom-Boakye specifically for this exhibition is available to visitors, providing greater context into the inspirational sources for her work.
