Untitled is a 2019 oil by Chris Ofili, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a dark background packed with bright, swirling flowers in red, blue, and yellow. A face peeks out from behind a golden, scaly shape—like armor or a mask—with a small bird or creature tucked under one arm. The colors are bold and mixed, with gold leaf glinting in spots. The gold leaf here isn’t just paint—it’s real gold pressed onto the paper. That’s a big deal for texture and shine. Next, check out Chris Ofili to see how he uses unexpected materials like this.
