The artwork, titled “Blue Riders,” was created by Chris Ofili in 2006. It belongs to the Neo-Expressionism art movement and falls under the genre of figurative art.
The artwork is a striking piece rendered in various shades of blue. It depicts two riders, clad in elaborate uniforms and headwear, mounted on a horse. One rider is markedly animated, brandishing a weapon, while the other appears more subdued. The background features abstract, twisted branches set against a contrasting light backdrop, heightening the dramatic tension in the scene. The use of monochromatic blue lends an intense and immersive quality to the artwork, inviting a deeply contemplative and emotional response from the viewer.
