For this project I was commissioned as a writer to address the theme - Paradise By Night. The project consists of portfolio of ten colour lithographs, & is Chris Ofili’s response to a group of young poets individually commissioned to speculate on the theme of a tropical paradise experienced in the hours of darkness. Harmonising spirituality, music, high art and folk art through a series of colour-saturated and stylised lithographs, each work appears as a hallucinatory vision arising from contemporary literature and history.
Commissioned by Louis Vuitton & printed by Paragon Press, the lithographs are presented in a leather bound book, of which only 40 exist.
