Amoako Boafo
By Karla Marie Sanford
The title of Accra-based artist Amoako Boafo’s third solo show at Roberts Projects, “I Bring Home With Me,” is not hyperbole but an assertion. In the show, portraits of Black subjects, rendered in the artist’s signature of painting with his fingertips, are presented in a built-to-scale architectural re-creation of Boafo’s studio in Accra, Ghana. In doing so, the artist grants his subjects newfound interiority, as viewers are invited to convene and gather rather than simply stare. Open Jan. 17 through March 21. 442 S. La Brea Ave., Los Angeles. robertsprojectsla.com
