Note du spécialiste

“I try to make [my work] more and more beautiful, to decorate it and dress it up so that it is so irresistible, you just want to be in front of it.” (C. Ofili, quoted in L. Macritchie, "Ofili's Glittering Icons—Work of Chris Ofili at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, New York," Art in America, January 2000)
