Lynette Yiadom-Boakye's Many A Moonlit Caveat brings new paintings and works on paper to both Jack Shainman Gallery locations in New York. Known for fictional figures untethered from any fixed time or place, her practice moves between painting and writing through the language of poetry — titles functioning as marks alongside the image rather than explanations of it. The exhibition's poem conjures nocturnal birds navigating manipulation and threat with quiet resistance: a fitting frame for paintings that have always known better than to explain themselves.
