Chris Ofili, a member of the Young British Artists, is known for his exploration of the black experience and his use of elephant dung in paintings. (widewalls.ch)
Mr. Ofili's first one - man show in New York may surprise museumgoers who have not seen his work since 1999, when a painting of a black Madonna with a clump of elephant dung on one breast caused an uproar. (nytimes.com)
Ofili now lives in Trinidad and no longer uses elephant dung on his canvases. (twocoatsofpaint.com)
