Today my tutor gave me three artists to look at: The Chapman Brothers (yes again) : Dot to Dot, Banksy (well known for defacing and graffiti) and Yinka Shonibare.
I researched on all three but Yinka Shonibare stood out the most to me as it seemed like his work linked in with my work.
Here is my design sheet I did on Yinka Shonibare, I looked and explained on the research I did also placing ideas on what I could do next, how I could develop my idea into a final piece.
Un Ballo in Maschera is Yinka's film. From this I decided to make my own storyboard on how I could do a live performance set up on the day of the final exhibition. He also did still freeze frame type photographs which I compared this to my own photographs I have being taking throughout the week. I can develop this into making the scenery myself and have the models in different positions to make a freeze frame.
These are just some of Yinka's sculptures that caught my eye the most, these ones in my opinion link into my work really well. I have gained a variety of ideas on how I can now put together my final piece. The African influences also help my ideas as I know this is plausible and help me see how I can interpret colours and patterns into my African traditions.
My final idea?
Using the table with the 13 headless figures (sculpture) that Yinka Shonibare did gave me the idea to have my traditions on the 'top table' as they have a weddings also photo frames or and small installation of the Arnolfini recreations I did earlier this week. - Maybe I could use the storyboard I did on the same design sheet and create a video to go in the installation or behind the table itself.
