Wind Sculpture in Bronze I
The Two Metre High Sculpture Will Be Unveiled at Royal Djurgården, Stockholm
2 June 2022
Standing two metres high, Wind Sculpture in Bronze I, is in the form of a large three-dimensional textile, has abstracted leaf patterns across the entire surface. This is a reference to Dutch wax batik fabrics – a signature motif of Shonibare’s art.
”The mixed origins of the fabric – factory-made by the Dutch, based on Indonesian batiks sold to Britain’s West African colonies, embraced there and considered in the world’s eyes as authentic African products, make a perfect vehicle to inspire conversations about our multi-layered identities and global interdependence.” - Yinka Shonibare CBE
