Description
Hand-signed and numbered verso.
This striking artwork captures attention with its bold use of color and minimalist composition. Dominated by a stark teal background, the piece features a figure clad in a voluminous white garment. The figure's face and hands are rendered in a textured, deep hue, conveying a sense of mystery and depth. A unique aspect is the subtle play of shadows in varying shades of teal, adding dimension and intrigue. The figure's delicate hand gesture and understated eyewear suggest elegance and introspection. The juxtaposition of light and dark elements, along with the simplicity of the backdrop, emphasizes the figure's enigmatic presence, inviting viewers to explore themes of identity and perception. This artwork powerfully balances abstraction and realism, making it both thought-provoking and visually engaging.
The New York Times titled about Amoako Boafo "Auction Prices That Take Your Breath Away" in 2020.
White Nail Polish is based on unique works that featured prominently in the artist's most recent solo exhibition 'Proper Love' (October 2024 Jannuary 2025) at the renowned Belvedere Museum in Vienna, Austria.
Yellow Turtleneck was originally created as a centerpiece of his celebrated collaboration with Dior, adding a distinctive fashion-art crossover pedigree.
Even though it is a graphic, using a special printing technology the artwork conceives textures, colours and effects on paintings, such as reliefs and gloss or wax brushstrokes at multiple scales.
Museo di Palazzo Grimani in Venice will in 2026 show the first solo show in Italy (Biennale).
Presentation
Born in 1984 in Accra, Ghana, Amoako Boafo is renowned for his representation of black bodies, and his intriguing technique of finger painting. The Ghanaian artist studies at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, and in 2017 was awarded the the prestigious Walter Koschatzky Art Prize. Since then he has gone on to exhibit at the Leopold Museum in Vienna, LACMA (Los Angeles) and the Guggenheim in New York.
His work is striking, and typically consists of powerful portraits, full of emotion and feeling. Amoako often utilizes a monotone color palette, isolating his subjects, placing the focus on the raw emotion of the work, or of his muse.
