In a cultural scene still trudging its way to true inclusivity, nothing feels more refreshing, irreverent, and pioneering than a gargantuan installation that's meant to be enjoyed by all. That's what British-Nigerian artist and designer Yinka Ilori MBE's new large-scale artwork, Walk With Your Dreams, stands for — an experience of this creative world that, rather than remaining constrained within the walls of private institutions or galleries and the curatorial concepts of their design exhibitions, stretches its arms to embrace whoever happens to stumble into its fold.
Unveiled this Thursday, October 2, at Milton Keynes Station Square, a 40-minute train journey north-west of London Euston, the sprawling, kaleidoscopic piece expands over an abstract tapestry of vivid yellows, greens, and cherry red tones across 3,027 square meters. This is the latest in a series of community-focused artworks by the emerging talent, whose prolific production encompasses anything from colossal, open-air works to covetable furniture lines and high-profile brand collaborations, following similar public interventions at Fulham Pier, Helsinki's Amos Rex Museum, and Piccadilly Circus, among others.
