Homage
"Homage" by Chris Ofili is a richly layered work executed in acrylic, oil, and polyester resin on linen, embedded with map pins that catch and reflect light across its densely patterned surface. True to Ofili's celebrated practice, the painting is propped on elephant dung, a material the artist has long employed as both a structural and symbolic element rooted in his African heritage. The result is a luminous, almost ceremonial composition that blurs the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and cultural ritual.
