With “Suspended States”, the British-Nigerian artist redefines — and redecorates — our difficult history
On the ground floor of Yinka Shonibare’s east-London studio, two imperious figures from British history have been scaled down to slightly-smaller-than-life size. The statues are painted in bright patterns, an unmistakable signature of the artist’s work. For a moment or two, it makes them unrecognisable. Soon, you realise you are staring down Winston Churchill and William Pitt the Younger .
The city’s cultural scene had a huge impact, he says, from the rise of the musician and activist Fela Kuti to the festival of Black culture, Festac ’77, which he remembers as a “dynamic cultural event”.
