Yellow Turtleneck is a high-rendered print on alu dibond executed in 2025, using the proprietary LITO Hi-Rnd© Technology — a cutting-edge production process that achieves an exceptional level of chromatic depth, surface richness, and tactile presence, bridging the boundary between original painting and editioned print. This impression is signed and numbered by the artist, from an edition of 20, and presented in a slim brown aluminum frame that enhances the work's refined visual impact.

The work exemplifies the powerful and immediately recognizable visual language of Amoako Boafo, one of the most significant and sought-after contemporary artists of his generation. Known for his finger-painting technique and his commitment to centering Black identity, interiority, and joy, Boafo has built a body of work that combines formal innovation with profound cultural resonance. In Yellow Turtleneck, the figure is rendered with Boafo's characteristic warmth and intimacy — the bold, expressive application of color against a carefully considered background creating a sense of quiet confidence and luminous presence that has become the hallmark of his portraiture.

Born in Accra, Ghana, Boafo studied at the Städelschule in Frankfurt and rose to international prominence in the late 2010s, quickly becoming one of the most collected artists on the primary and secondary markets. His works are held in major private collections worldwide and have achieved record results at auction — including prices exceeding USD 1.3 million at leading international auction houses. Yellow Turtleneck, produced in a strictly limited edition of 20 and signed by the artist, offers collectors a rare opportunity to acquire a work by one of the defining voices of contemporary African art at a pivotal moment in his career.

The work is presented framed and in excellent condition.
