Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the paper tone is slightly cooler in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Each sheet is hinged verso to the backing board in numerous places and undulates slightly, which is in keeping with the artist's choice of medium. All four edges of each sheet are deckled. Extremely close inspection reveals an extremely short and unobtrusive tear to the upper centre of the extreme right hand edge of the left hand sheet, and a very faint crease to the upper centre of the extreme right hand edge of the right hand sheet.

"It’s what people want from black artists. We’re the voodoo king, the voodoo queen, the witch doctor, the drug dealer, the magicien de la terre. The exotic, the decorative. I’m giving them all of that, but it’s packaged slightly differently". (Chris Ofili cited in: Exh. Cat., Minneapolis, Walker Art Center, Brilliant! New Art from London, 1996, p. 67).
