Five works: (i) Love In a Time of War I; (ii) Love In a Time of War II; (iii) Love In a Time of War III; (iv) Love In a Time of War IV; (v) Love In a Time of War V

2015

In this series of five works, Yinka Shonibare CBE RA explores the intersections of love, conflict, and cultural identity, themes central to his broader practice examining colonialism and globalization. The works likely incorporate his signature use of Dutch wax-printed fabric, which carries complex histories tied to African identity and European trade, juxtaposing beauty and tension. Together, the five pieces create a meditation on human connection and resilience set against the backdrop of violence and political strife.
