I really enjoyed Chris Ofili's exhibition. I love the way he used the stereotyped images of black culture and used them to his advantage to create great contemporary works of art. In his work I found traditional ways of painting put in a contemporary context. I was moved by these paintings full of colour and very dynamic. I think my favourite painting was afrodizzia. The colours are stunning. When I was looking at it I could feel his love of music and a lot of humour. It makes me think of some kind of hallucination someone would have while on drugs where faces with afros would appear. The ambiance of the upper room was nice. I liked the way the paintings where lit and how their reflection appeared on the wooden floor. I found the series of monos interesting. They all gave out different feelings just by the change of colour used. He used strong colours but managed to give transparence and delicateness to the paintings.
