The artwork, titled “The Upper Room: Mono Negro,” was created by the artist Chris Ofili in 2002. As part of the Neo-Expressionism art movement, this figurative piece belongs to the series “The Upper Room (2002).” The artwork is rich in vibrant, saturated colors that create a captivating, dynamic background. Layered upon this lively canvas is a prominent black figure, rhythmically integrated into the surrounding colorful patterns. The juxtaposition of the dark, silhouetted form against the bright palette imbues the piece with a sense of depth and complexity, characteristic of Ofili’s distinctive style and thematic exploration within this series.
