Description:
"Victoria Miro is pleased to announce the opening of a new gallery in Venice. The inaugural exhibition is 'Poolside Magic' by Chris Ofili. The exhibition comprises a suite of pastel, charcoal and watercolor works on paper, which are being shown together for the first time. 'Poolside Magic', in which a man in coat-tails serves a naked woman beside a swimming pool, riffs on themes of sexuality, mutability, magic and the occult, making reference to the vibrant and sensuous landscape and culture of Trinidad, where the artist lives and works."--
