A new exhibition conjures a voluptuous unearthly realm where transgression gives way to fantasy in disorientating works that dazzle the viewer
Which deity presides over the hallucinatory, outrageously fecund realm that the British artist Chris Ofili conjures in the septet of large paintings that comprises his latest solo exhibition? Given that each canvas features the figure of a satyr – all burnished horns and luxuriously shaggy fetlocks, carob-toned skin and swishing, serpentine tail – we might assume that this is the domain of Dionysus, god of wine, fertility, ritual madness and religious ecstasy.
