Stephen Friedman Gallery is pleased to present two new projects in London by artist Yinka Shonibare CBE RA. Describing himself as a ‘post-colonial hybrid’, the British-Nigerian artist makes work that explores issues of race and class.
'Free the Wind, The Spirit and the Sun' is the inaugural exhibition at Stephen Friedman Gallery’s new London home on Cork Street in Mayfair. For this, Shonibare has created a new body of work including quilts, masks and sculptures.
A striking four-metre sculpture is presented for Frieze Sculpture at The Regent’s Park. Representing the freezing of wind in a moment of time, it resembles a vast sheet of fabric billowing in the breeze.
