Keep The Moon Amongst Ourselves: Lynette Yiadom-Boakye
ICYMI Lynette Yiadom-Boakye’s latest works blend quiet drama and mystery, showing introspective characters in moody, staged scenes full of feeling “Keep the Moon Amongst ourselves” ended in March Artist: https://www.corvi-mora.com/artist/lynette-yiadom-boakye/
Lynette Yiadom-Boakye’s latest show at Corvi-Mora features oil paintings and charcoal works. These pieces explore performance, introspection, and mystery. Her figures wear tight, leotard-like clothing. They strike still, theatrical poses, as if frozen mid-performance.
The settings are hazy and abstract. They offer no clear story. Instead, viewers must piece things together. Each painting feels like a scene from a play without dialogue.
The titles are cryptic. There’s no wall text—just a single mystical poem.
Through bold brushwork and quiet gestures, Yiadom-Boakye builds a world of uncertainty. In it, identity and emotion shift, shaped by silence and suggestion.
