Yinka Shonibare CBE: Ritual Ecstasy of the Modern

This vibrant exhibition, on loan from Cristea Roberts Gallery London, showcases Shonibare’s evolving printmaking practice over the past seven years.
The globally celebrated artist whose work examines race, class, and constructions of cultural identity, explores the tangled relationships between Africa and Europe. Woodblock prints will be unveiled alongside earlier works featuring the motif of the all-American cowboy and symbols of the British empire. Turner Prize nominee Shonibare has exhibited in some of themost notable collections internationally – don’t miss your chance to see his work in West Berkshire this spring!
