We are excited to announce I Have Been Here Before, Amoako Boafo’s first institutional solo exhibition in Asia, at the Wooyang Art Museum in South Korea. Through a selection of recent and iconic paintings across four thematic spaces, the exhibition invites viewers to explore the nuances of identity, visibility, and self-representation through a body of work that is both deeply personal and powerfully resonant.
For this landmark occasion, Boafo unveils a series of new works presented within a site-specific structure designed by Glenn DeRoche, inspired by Korea’s traditional hanok courtyards. This contemplative space invites viewers into an intimate encounter with his portraits, which move between introspection, vulnerability, and bold self-expression—affirming Boafo’s commitment to representing the richness and complexity of lived experience.
