“WIND SCULPTURE IV,” created by Yinka Shonibare in 2014, is a contemporary sculpture. The artwork exudes the creative spirit of contemporary art.
The sculpture stands tall with an appearance resembling a billowing fabric captured in motion by an invisible breeze. Its vibrant pattern, featuring bold and complementary colors such as red, yellow, and blue, is reminiscent of African textiles, which are a frequent motif in Shonibare’s oeuvre. The undulating form suggests fluidity and movement, juxtaposing the urban backdrop of tall buildings and green trees. The overall design of the artwork evokes a sense of lightness and dynamic energy, providing a striking contrast to the static, linear environment surrounding it.
