Amoako Boafo: Egon Schiele repackaged & rebranded?

Post by admin »

I am sure he doesn't want to remind the Austrian master but the similarities are striking. Critical take on his work?

We live in a world where new styles are not possible anymore. This is not unacceptable to take something quite old and upgrade it with a new life. The similarity is present but Boafo has signature yellow backgrounds, slightly different brushwork of faces, and sometimes even more striking compositions than Schiele. He attended the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, Austria for his MFA. His love for Schiele has an explanation.
