Amoako Boafo
By Lita Barrie
One of the first galleries in L.A. to focus on African-American artists like legends Betye Saar and Kehinde Wiley, Roberts Projects has continued to represent significant black artists and help them develop their careers – from the emerging to the established. This tightly-curated selection of works subvert the meaning of “oasis” from diverse perspectives: works by Amoaka Boafo, Daniel Crews-Chubb, Lenz Geerk, Suchitra Mattai, Collins Obiiaku, Ed Templeton and Brenna Youngblood – in addition to legendary figures Noah Davis and Betye Saar – all explore the relief we seek from hardship.
