Artists in conversation

Lynette Yiadom-Boakye
British · b. 1977

Yiadom-Boakye creates figurative paintings of invented Black subjects rendered with muted, atmospheric tones that share Anderson's contemplative psychological depth and restrained color palette. Her works similarly explore identity and interiority through isolated figures whose quiet presence evokes social and emotional memory.

Luc Tuymans
Belgian · b. 1958

Tuymans employs a deliberately subdued and washed out palette in figurative and semi-abstract compositions that generate profound psychological unease and atmosphere, closely mirroring Anderson's minimalist restraint and contemplative mood. His figure studies and spatial works share the same quality of evocative understatement found in these acrylic works on paper.

Peter Doig
British · b. 1959

Doig's figurative paintings explore solitary human forms within evocative, memory laden spaces using nuanced color and compositional restraint that closely parallels Anderson's approach to atmosphere and social memory. His works similarly balance figuration with abstraction to create a sense of psychological and cultural depth.
