What a lovely eloquently spoken artist who makes so clear what he and his beautiful 'cultural art' is all about. His African fabric patterning motifs he has put into his art immediately grips you for its surprising colourful theatricality. And, what a benevolent gentleman artist he is to lend his time and studio space to up-and-coming artists? I was going to say he should be a Royal Academician (RA) and then I see on further googling he is of course already precisely that. And again ~ I am straightaway reminded of the stunning 'boat in a bottle' fourth plinth Trafalgar Square exhibit of some years ago I made a point of visiting without dwelling on who the artist was but now thinking "Gosh! That was Yinka's astonishing artistic creation". Thank you Yinka for what you give and inspire toward the British cultural art tradition.
Omg. I am sitting here at work(nurse), looking to see what’s new in the art world. I am a born artist with some college training in the states(fine arts).Thankfully not totally spoiled.I was born in England(hitchin). Your ideas are a reflection of ideas, thoughts, projects I’ve had in my head for years. I find art in everything.WOW. I am so excited. I needed the support and didn’t know how to ask. Well here l am. After looking at just this footage. I will get back into my art and come out. I will look forward to seeing your work in person.
Love the work and love the way you talk about your work and what it's like to be an artist. Also love the project space and was lucky enough to get to be a part of it for a month (May 2015 - AltMFA Jamboree) which was so rewarding and special on so many levels. But I was a fan of his practice way before that opportunity happened to us :)
+Rotten Bandage He says that most artists will ask very basic questions - "What do I want to make work about? Why am I here? How did I get here? What are my origins? Who am I?"
