Chris Ofili art at Tate Britain

He is best known as the artist who paints using elephant dung, but Ofili is a Turner Prize winner, contemporary artist who gets his inspiration from ancient painted caves in Zimbabwe and comics to contemporary black music or porn magazines to create fun and colourful works of art.

Elephant dung, glitter, magazine cutouts, resin and paint is the medium mix for the 45 works on show, some presented to the British public for the first time. The collection covers paintings, pencil drawings, watercolours and illustrations created from the mid 1990 to present.

Tate Britain until 16 May 2010.
Admission: £10
