Souls swirl in a vortex as Pan plays a pipe. White egrets fly across one, passing between pairs of elegant legs. They’re left incomplete, or glimpsed as voluptuous bulges and extrusions, camouflaged by constant shifts in touch and application. Limbs appear and disappear, fold and spread. The Seven Deadly Sins are paintings in constant transition: between surface and depth, figure and foliage, light and dark between mythology and religion, the sacred and profane.īegun in 2017, and worked on in Barbados and Trinidad where Ofili lives, the paintings were all completed this year.
Although rich and dense, most of these works are thinly, almost transparently painted, till suddenly, in one that recalls Fragonard’s rococo The Swing, there’s a swerve to thickly applied, clotted opacity.

Every mark, every dot or sinuous line in Ofili’s painting is deliberate, the result of a conscious touch or series of touches. Bridget Riley does this, too, in a very different way. Ofili captures your sight and makes you aware of the act of your own seeing.
Looking at these new paintings by Ofili, your eye slides and drifts, trying to catch hold, but it keeps on slipping and gets pulled under, caught by currents and undertows and dragged around.
