"I want to think about painting, not the personality of the [person] sitting with me. I’m far more interested in how we can make people intelligible through paint, rather than getting bogged down in characters ... I want the work to be pulled out of the air somehow"
Lynette Yiadom-Boakye in conversation with Jamie Stevens, cited in: 'Interview with Lynette Yiadom-Boakye', Chisenhale gallery, March 2012, online.
