Red Dress (2017) by Amoako Boafo (@amoakoboafo) depicts a short-haired woman who resembles the incomparable @studiomuseum’s Director, Thelma Golden, adorned in a dotted red dress. This work is a quintessential example of the textiles and patterns that have become synonymous with Boafo’s practice, specifically his employment of a photo transfer technique to add texture to the work. Boafo’s subjects not only express themselves through their body language and facial expressions but also through their fashion and home decor.
Amoako Boafo: Soul of Black Folks is on view through October 2, 2022. Admission to the Museum is free—plan your visit and learn more through the link in our bio.
