“Joy Through Resistance: He Who Laughs Last, Laughs Best” is Yinka Ilori‘s first solo exhibition in London. His signature bright coloured patterns drench items throughout Cristea Roberts Gallery. Floral motifs recur throughout the exhibition, particularly the shape of Nigerian yellow trumpet flower and the British daffodil, which represent the Nigerian British artist’s heritage. Ornamental lace patterns also appear, celebrating its context within the West African diaspora.
