The artwork, titled “Within Reach 10. Dance Stance,” created by Chris Ofili in 2003, is a piece that belongs to the Neo-Expressionism movement and is classified within the figurative genre. This piece is part of the larger series “Within Reach (2003)”.
In “Dance Stance,” Chris Ofili utilizes a vivid and intense red backdrop to frame two silhouetted figures. The figures, dressed in elaborate attire, stand closely together, suggesting an intimate or emotional connection. The artwork prominently features a glowing, golden orb in the upper left corner, which contrasts sharply with the dark, abstract forms of the figures. The minimal yet striking use of color and form is characteristic of Ofili’s style, contributing to an overall sense of drama and movement within the piece.
