“I like (hip-hop’s) cut-and-paste attitude. You can often hear where one joint ends and another begins, which is something I try to make apparent in my work so you can see how things are made. Hip-hop takes existing beats, restructures them, and injects the individual in the form of a rap. You might not understand the lyrics, but you always recognise the voice of a particular rapper”.
Chris Ofili, in Donna De Salvo, “My pop: Chris Ofili”, Artforum October 2004
“(Using the dungballs is) a way of raising the paintings up from the ground and giving them a feeling that they’ve come from the earth rather than simply being hung on a wall”.
Chris Ofili, in Carol Vogel, “British artist holds fast to his inspiration”, The New York Times, 28 September 1999
