Pramnian Odyssey I
A richly layered collage of dyed and suede leather pieces, accented with luminous gold leaf, comes together on panel to create a work of striking tactile and visual depth. Chris Ofili draws on the mythological resonance of the Pramnian wine referenced in Homer's *Odyssey*, weaving themes of ancient ritual and journey into an opulent, jewel-like surface. The artist's custom frame extends the work's immersive quality, reinforcing Ofili's signature approach of treating the artwork as a total, carefully considered object.
