The Upper Room: Mono Rosa 2002

"The Upper Room: Mono Rosa," a 2002 work by Chris Ofili, features a pink monkey, rendered in a delicate, almost translucent style, set against a colorful, intricate background of floral motifs. The monkey's pose and the overall composition suggest a sense of movement and energy, inviting viewers to explore the interplay between the figure and its surroundings. Ofili, known for his vibrant and often controversial paintings, explores themes of identity, spirituality, and sexuality through his use of bold colors and symbolic imagery.
