Two smiling Black women stand side by side against a pale background, their bodies cropped at the knees so they command the seven-by-nine-foot canvas. On the left, a taller woman with hair pulled back, dressed in a white long-sleeved top and dark skirt cradles a small brown-and-white dog whose bright red collar gives the painting its name. The top of her head grazes the canvas edge as she leans toward her companion, laughing as she looks down at the dog. To the right, her friend, in a vertical striped dress of red, blue, black, and white, turns inward with one hand tucked casually into her pocket, her gentle smile and tilted head meeting the dog’s gaze. Boafo’s characteristic finger-painted, marbled skin contrasts with the smoother brushwork of clothes, dog, and background, heightening the sense of touch, warmth, and closeness shared among all three.

Painted in 2021 while artist Amoako Boafo was working in Los Angeles and depicting close friends from his Ghanaian circle, "Red Collar" embodies the ethos of the exhibition "Soul of Black Folks" with Black subjects centered, relaxed, and gloriously themselves. The red collar quietly shifts focus from fashion spectacle to care, loyalty, and the everyday intimacies that structure Black life. Boafo reserves direct finger painting for skin and hair, marking Black bodies as sites of connection rather than consumption, while the monumental scale of the canvas elevates a simple moment of shared joy to the level of history painting. Traveling from gallery to museum, including its presentation in "Amoako Boafo: Soul of Black Folks" and in the Hornik Collection exhibition "Some Dogs Go to Dallas," the work anchors Boafo’s larger project of documenting Black friendship, glamour, and self-possession across continents, insisting that these relationships belong at the heart of contemporary art’s global narrative.
