Chris Ofili's 'The Seven Deadly Sins' at Victoria Miro

Chris Ofili's exhibition 'The Seven Deadly Sins' at Victoria Miro in London (2 June – 29 July) features seven large paintings centered on a satyr figure, exploring themes of sin, fantasy, and art-historical references. The works, including 'The Swing' (2020–23) which borrows from Fragonard, and 'The Pink Waterfall' (2019–23), use Ofili's signature dotted pigment to obscure and dazzle. The show invites viewing through the lens of capital vices but avoids direct depictions of retribution or redemption. Ofili references artists from William Blake to Sigmar Polke, and the paintings resist fixed interpretation, compelling viewers to immerse themselves in a disorienting, voluptuous realm.
