About the work
Siesta Of The Soul, 2009, Chris Ofili. Limited edition print on Somerset 300gsm paper. Edition of 500. Individually signed and numbered by the artist.
About the artist
Chris Ofili came to prominence in the early 1990s with richly orchestrated paintings combining rippling dots of paint, drifts of glitter, collaged images and elephant dung - varnished, often studded with map pins and applied to the picture surface as well as supporting the canvas - a combination of physical elevation and symbolic link to the Earth. He won the Turner Prize in 1998 and over the past decade has exhibited in many international institutions. In 2003 he was selected to represent Britain at the 50th Venice Biennale, where he presented his ambitious exhibition Within Reach.
In Ofili's work the rhythmic patterning of painterly and cultural elements - sacred and profane, personal and political, from high and low culture - plays on ideas of beauty while also carrying messages about black culture, history and exoticism.
Born in Manchester in 1968 and educated at the Royal College of Art in London, Ofili now lives and works in Trinidad.
