I YINKA I'M IN LOVE

As one of the most talented and practical artists I've become familiar with, Yinka Shonibare has a colorful and compelling way of creatively balancing humor with somewhat disturbing subject matter. "Adopting a richly complex, unconventional approach, Shonibare lampoons the concept of achieving status through what might be called cultural authenticity. His works, simultaneously innocent and subversive, address a range of cultural and historical issues and, in the process, blur the boundaries of design, ethnography, and contemporary art." - Courtesy yinka-shonibare.co.uk.
