THIS IS A PIECE BY YINKA SHONIBARE, AN ARTIST IVE BEEN RESEARCHING FOR A GROUP FASHION UNIT. THIS PIECE IS FROM 2006, SO ITS A MODERN PIECE OF ART. MADE UP OF 25 DUTCH WAX CANVAS, THE PATTERNS ON THE CANVAS' WERE MADE BY THE TECHNIQUE BATIK. I LOVE THIS MODERN PIECE BECAUSE IT MORE ABSTRACT AND DOESNT SEEM TO HAVE A MEANING BEHIND IT. I LOVE THE FACT IT COVERS A WHOLE WALL WITH THE BLACK SPLATTERED PAINT BEHIND THE CANVAS'. I LIKE THE VARIOUS SIZES THE CIRCLE CANVAS AND THE BRIGHT COLOURS USED TO STAND OUT ON TOP OF THE BLACK PAINT.
YINKA SHONIBARE QUOTE - 'The piece (Black Gold II 2006) is literally like a sort of oil splash on the wall, with black and gold painted onto the fabrics. I was just thinking about oil becoming a rare commodity—a source of wars because of its rarity. It’s just oil as black gold, but the explosive impact of oil on people’s lives can be traced back to oil'
