Yinka Shonibare CBE RA: Patterns of Power

The latest art exhibition arriving at The Gallery in The Arc, Winchester is Yinka Shonibare CBE RA: Patterns of Power.

A selection of artworks spanning 20 years of the artist’s career, including 40 woodblocks and screenprints, and featuring The Crowning (2007), a large-scale sculpture on loan from the Arts Council Collection. This witty, sumptuous piece, shows the critical cross-examining of contemporary and historic sensibilities for which Shonibare is famed.

Shonibare is a Royal Academician and internationally acclaimed artist who explores and confronts history and identity, often through the lens of art history and its figures of cultural power. In reference to complex relations between Africa and Europe, the artist reworks his signature motif of Batik fabric, itself a product of coloniality, into gripping and playful mixed media works.

Tickets: Adult £5.45, Concession £4.50, Under 16s £4.00
