Bloom Boy

In Bloom Boy, our magnificent subject takes centre stage, the angular planes of his face casting a beatific light and commanding attention.
This idealisation and elevation of subjects is Yusufu’s signature – by immersing ordinary people in status laden settings, he highlights his desire to speak about changing norms around African identity.
Yusufu is one of our most exciting artists and his works are a powerful mouthpiece of a generation seeking to shift outdated narratives.
