SINGULAR DUALITY:  ME CAN MAKE WE is a solo exhibition by Amoako Boafo featuring new large-scale paintings that explore the tension of internal and external worlds, and of the complexities of shadow and light. Boafo’s second solo show with Roberts Projects expands on his oeuvre representing and celebrating Blackness, while introducing significant new themes.
