Yeside Linney only took up art professionally after retiring from a career as an English teacher. Yet her landscapes, portraits and abstract works have brought her early success in terms of prizes and exhibitions. In this episode, she talks about life in English boarding schools to which she was sent from her birthplace in Nigeria, how she “decolonises” her past through the themes of her artwork, how she focuses on the feminine side of Yoruba culture, how her English upbringing and Nigerian heritage gives her an “enduring vulnerability”, how her work has a brooding element and is mood-driven, and why she made a series entitled Scarification.
