Lot description

Isshaq Ismail,  Ghanaian b.1989 -  Head 19; acrylic on canvas, 150 x 125 cm (unframed) Provenance: Maddox Gallery; private collection, purchased from the above in 2021 (by repute) Note: Ismail quickly captured international attention with his striking and bold faces, which are joyful and expressive. Of his work, he says 'I am interested in breaking the mould of painting by subverting and interrogating the preconceived notion of the idea of beauty within the canon of painting, primarily figurative painting, and challenging the perception of aesthetics.'
