In this podcast, Ben Luke talks to Yinka Shonibare CBE about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work.
Shonibare discusses his perennial fascination with William Hogarth and Francisco Goya, and his admiration for contemporary artists as diverse as Cindy Sherman, David Hammons and Paul McCarthy, who he describes as “Hogarth x100”. He also reflects on the consistent environmentalist strand in his work, plus gives insight into his studio life and upcoming exhibitions.
