Specialist note

'In his artwork Ofili does not perform or document racial types, he creates them. In this imagined space, Ofili presents the division between art and life as the space between truth of experience and the fiction of the painted surface' (T. Golden quoted in, Chris Ofili, exh. cat., Tate Britain, London 2010, p. 71).
