Yinka Ilori’s art runs deeper than his dramatic saturations of colors that meet the fortunate eye. As an artist, Yinka evokes discipline but with joy. As a contemporary designer, his vision embodies storytelling through vibrant linguistics that can be felt by all, creating an audience that sings in unison to the rhythm of his bold and unifying art.

Yinka’s work can be viewed as a broad spectrum. Yes, he’s a talented artist. Yes, he has redefined the behavior of the community when moved by the arts. But what sets Yinka’s work as extraordinary and brilliant is his usage of themes that awaken the joyful spirit. Unlike most artists and designers, Yinka doesn’t take himself too seriously. Tortured artist? Not even close. As seen in his inspiring work, elements of humor, optimism and unity are seen throughout, inviting his audience to participate in a way that evokes hope - and hope can be contagious. Yinka’s studio team consists of architects and designers, all of which are like minded creatives such as himself, who are driven by color and craft. With a strong emphasis on community, Yinka often gives back in creative ways. His “Flamboyance of Flamingo Playground” in Parsoles Park, London has made new meaning for creative play. Its sculptural design and vibrant colors invite children of all ages to engage in high dose imagination. And yes, adults too.
