Yinka Shonibare - Art and Identity

Eleanor Heartney has placed Yinka Shonibare in the chapter of Art and Globalism, however I feel his work also relates to themes of identity that seem to link with the ideas of race and class. His works are humorous in the way they subvert these stereotypes within a historical context, as well as subverting this notion and fallacy of only having one identity. Many of his works explore the idea of being in a transitional state or being between two identities, two cultures, and feel like an investigation into the multicultural world in which we live.
