Turner Prize 2013 artists: Lynette Yiadom-Boakye

Lynette Yiadom-Boakye was nominated for the Turner Prize 2013 for her exhibition Extracts and Verses at Chisenhale Gallery.

Yiadom-Boakye’s intriguing paintings appear traditional but are in fact much more innovative. Her portraits of imaginary people use invented pre-histories and raise pertinent questions about how we read pictures in general, particularly with regard to black subjects.
