Untitled is a 2015 ink by Yinka Shonibare, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows two big figures with oversized heads wearing feathered headdresses. Their bodies are black with simple shapes, and they’re holding hands over a turquoise background. Around them are bright colors—yellow, pink, and orange—and collage-like bits, including what looks like newspaper clippings and a peacock feather. The title *Twins* is written at the top, and the artist’s name is signed in the corner. The gold leaf adds a shiny, fancy touch to parts of the image.
