Amoako Boafo, Yellow Blanket, 2018

What’s on your weekend reading list? This ideal Sunday scene comes courtesy of the rising Ghanaian artist Amoako Boafo, known for his vivid, large-scale portraits of Black subjects realised in strikingly gestural brushstrokes (or fingerstrokes, as is often the case in Boafo’s singular practice). The artist frequently enlists his friends as sitters, accounting for the striking sense of intimacy his artworks convey.
