Lynette Yiadom-Boakye : Fly In League With The Night

To accompany the 'To Improvise a Mountain: Lynette Yiadom-Boakye Curates' exhibition at Leeds Art Gallery, this book, first published in 2018 as part of her major exhibition at Tate Britain is a ground breaking and essential survey of her artwork, offering an in-depth discussion of the development of the artist and positioning her work within a wider history of portraiture.

Lynette Yiadom-Boakye: Fly In League With The Night celebrates the work of one of the most significant and acclaimed figurative painters of her generation. Fact and fiction fuse in Yiadom-Boakye's paintings: they appear to be portraits, yet the people she depicts are not real but invented.
