Beauty in Art

in watching the videos i chose a man by the name of Chris Ofili. i chose ofili because i liked the way he approached art using tecniques and objects such as elephant dung to bring what he would call "beauty" to his paintings. i looked for a lot of ofili's artwork and when i saw a multitude of his pieces side by side it seemed like to me that they all had some sort of an african trible vibe. a lot of ofili's works are abstract an to me personally i feel that in escense the beauty of ofili's work truly comes from the colors that he chooses to use in some of his paintings. not only does the image itself have meaning but the color has meaning itself.
