Description
Yinka Shonibare MBE Revised and Expanded Edition by Rachel Kent presents a comprehensive collection of the artist's work, challenging straightforward interpretations with provocative media. Born in London and raised in Nigeria, Yinka Shonibare employs a diverse range of mediums to probe matters of race, class, cultural identity, and history. Shonibare's use of vibrant "African" batik fabric, which originated in Indonesia, cleverly challenges issues of origin and authenticity. This book showcases the artist's innovative public sculptures, including his high-profile project for the Fourth Plinth in London's Trafalgar Square. With its unique blend of irony and subversion, Shonibare's work invites readers to reconsider their understanding of art and culture. Through 240 pages of high-quality images, this revised and updated edition provides the most authoritative resource available on Yinka Shonibare MBE's career.
