De Buck Gallery presents Oxford-based artist Annan Affotey. His paintings focus on men and women with dark vibrant skin and red soul-filled eyes. His figures are surrounded by negative space allowing each subject the breath to tell their own story. Affotey highlights the nuances of the facial expression, examining what’s beyond the surface level.
