CHEEKY LITTLE ASTRONOMER III 2018

"CHEEKY LITTLE ASTRONOMER III" (2018) by Yinka Shonibare is a sculpture depicting a figure seated on a chair, leaning back and looking through a telescope. The figure is dressed in colorful, patterned clothing, suggesting a blend of Western and African influences. The artwork, typical of Shonibare's style, explores themes of identity, colonialism, and the impact of globalization. The figure's playful pose and vibrant attire challenge traditional notions of the astronomer as a serious, scientific figure.
