Chris Ofili
Chris Ofili (b. 1968) creates intricate, kaleidoscopic paintings and works on paper that merge abstraction and figuration. His works—vibrant, symbolic, and often mysterious—draw upon the landscapes and traditions of Trinidad, where he has lived since 2005. Employing a range of aesthetic and cultural sources, including Zimbabwean cave paintings, blaxploitation films, Ovid’s Metamorphoses, and modernist painting, Ofili’s work investigates the intersection of desire, identity, and representation.
