Brief preview of what to expect at the solo exhibition of Chris Ofili at the Serpentine Gallery 1998. From the preview: “His ongoing series, called Captain Shit, has modelled itself on Luke Cage, one of the first black action comic heroes. It is wildly hilarious and thankfully blows all that angsty, didactic identity stuff right out of the water. It also tells you that Ofili’s own influences have as much to do with the history of painting as they do with more contemporary references such rap. Don’t miss this.”
