In 2010 Tate Britain will present a major survey of the work of Chris Ofili [3]. Since his emergence in the mid 1990s, Ofili has built an international reputation with his intensely coloured and intricately ornamented paintings that bridge the sacred and the profane, popular culture and beliefs. This will be the most substantial exhibition of his work to date, bringing together approximately 45 paintings. Covering the period from the mid 1990s to the present day, it will also include pencil drawings and watercolours, as well as new work brought directly from the artist’s studio in Trinidad.
