I was amazed at the amount of control and detail Chris Ofili showed in his Afrotaslinear exhibit. while walking alongside the walls i was wondering how he did them. the watercolor paintings are amazing because of the way he bleeds the pigment and then creates tie dye designs in the clothing. i was also amazed at the vast amount of images there are. i can only imagine how long all these would take. especially the ones where they are just graphite on paper or ink on paper. they were all so clean i would imagine it is hard to keep the paper as white as possible.
as for the images, i loved. i loved the abstraction of the hair and all the different variations. i think i may be a sucker for good watercolor drawings but these ones are truly exceptional.
too bad we couldnt take photographs in there...good thing we have the internet.
