James Kalm visits the retrospective exhibition Chris Ofili: Night and Day at The New Museum, New York, on view through January 25, 2015.

From the press release: "For this exhibition, nine of [Ofili's recent paintings] are brought together for the first time in an architectural environment designed by the artist. Composed in dark hues of blue, this series of paintings evokes the blue light of twilight and the soulfulness of blues music. Although rooted in the landscape and culture of Trinidad, Ofili’s blue paintings extend beyond to offer a contemplative approach to history, identity, and ways of seeing."
