This exquisitely produced book is published by Victoria Miro on the occasion of the exhibition ‘Chris Ofili: The Seven Deadly Sins.’, 2 Jun – 29 Jul 2023, Victoria Miro, London.

Chris Ofili invited seven writers – Hilton Als, Inua Ellams, Marlon James, Anthony Joseph, Ayanna Lloyd Banwo, Attillah Springer, and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye – to contribute new writing.

Like Ofili’s paintings, their poems and narratives are not confined to illustrating single sins but meditate, personally and expansively, on sinfulness.

Illustrated with 7 paintings and 7 detail images.

Hardback cover with three-piece binding and foil-blocking.

All images courtesy of the artist and Victoria Miro.
