Stripped of any specific context, time or place, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye's paintings unfold open-ended narratives, providing a fertile terrain for the viewer's own projected interpretation and imagination.

A writer and poet as well as a visual artist, for Boakye painting is a vocabulary that words can't speak: "When I write it's normally something that I can't paint, and I paint what I can't write, so in most of the paintings the narrative isn't that clear […] I think it's important to let things be self-explanatory. I think it's important that it's a sensual experience"  (Lynette Yiadom-Boakye quoted in "In the studio with Turner Prize 2013 nominee Lynette Yiadom-Boakye",www.tate.org.uk, online resource).
