Yinka Shonibare's Cake Man features a figure dressed in the artist's typical patterned African fabrics with a globe covered in stock market graphs for a head and a teetering stack of patterned cakes balanced on its back.
The patterning on its fabric looks something like an exploded prism, and in that it's a typical work for Odita, whose work looks at the role of color in our lives and the ways in which it can express aspects of African culture.
