Yinka Shonibare MBE was born in London in 1962 and raised in Nigeria. He studied for his BA at the Byam Shaw School of Art between 1984-1989, and completed his MA at Goldsmiths College, London in 1991.
Known primarily for his figurative sculptures inspired by literature and art history rendered in recognisably African fabrics, Shonibare's works bring together disparate cultural references and material to explore issues around colonisations and exploration, national and racial identity and class and cultural politics.
