British painter Chris Ofili talking about The Upper Room, an installation of 13 exquisite canvases, which was first shown in 2002. According to Ofili it is about “trying to create an atmosphere for people to feel somehow out of themselves.” His aim is to “do something that is sincerely interesting and can honestly enhance the experience of looking.” This project was developed by Ofili in collaboration with London-based archtiect David Adjaye.
