Chris Ofili: 'The studio is a laboratory, not a factory.' Photograph: Horace Ové
I may been biased on my thoughts on Chris Ofili, in one Contextual studies seminar I quote myself here , I said ‘I found his work offensive’ without having looked or seen his work. The reason for this was someone had told me he uses Elephant Dung to assimilate his feelings about Africa since he is originally from Nigeria.
After doing a lot of research my feelings towards his work have changed, mainly because I can relate to some of the things he said in this article HERE its a very long article but worth a read.
I find the concepts of his portraits very stimulating because there is a long story there, for my unit X I intend to go and see hi work at the Saatchi if he is still showing there (i will do some research)
