Anyone else planning to get all dressed up this Friday, in spite of having nowhere to go? This exquisitely adorned sitter was painted by Ghanaian artist Kwesi Botchway. As is typical of Botchway’s striking portraits, the figure’s gaze locks directly on ours, drawing particular attention to her facial features. “I’m more focused on the human face,” Botchway told Unit London. “I believe that is where our souls display their emotions and I think I’m the kind of artist who wants people, or my viewers, to have a feel of my subjects, get a sense of their stories… They have to feel it by having a dialogue with the works.”
