Artist
Yinka Shonibare
British Nigerian artist who dresses headless figures in Dutch wax fabric to ask where anything is really from.
Yinka Shonibare is a British artist whose work explores cultural identity, colonialism and post-colonialism within the contemporary context of globalisation. A hallmark of his art is the brightly coloured Ankara/batik fabric he uses. As Shonibare is paralysed on one side of his body, he uses assistants to make works under his direction.

Yinka Shonibare is alive, so there is one chart here rather than two. The death chart is cast for a documented moment of death and there is nothing to cast one for, which is the point: this site does not estimate either end.
