A Turner Prize-winning artist paints Tate Britain's north staircase to remember Grenfell Tower victims.
Turner Prize-winning artist Chris Ofili has created a large-scale work at Tate Britain to remember a fellow artist killed in the Grenfell Tower fire.
"But this time I became quite self-conscious of that so I decided that I was going to continue looking."In the artwork, a bowing figure is seen presenting Grenfell Tower burning As he did, he said memories of meeting Saye at the Venice Biennale, an international cultural exhibition, came flooding back. They had met just one month before she was killed.
The body of water flowing across the artwork, he said, was a way of linking Venice and London and a way of "symbolising the shared connection I had with Khadija"."I'm trying to honour this brief meeting and the power or energy or charisma that I felt about her and unfortunately now has just become an emotional memory for me, and I suppose a kind of collective grief around her loss as an individual and as an artist," he said.
