@piece.art: Chris Ofili’s Requiem pays tribute to Khadija Saye and remembers the tragedy of Grenfell Tower Fire. His dream-like mural at the Tate Britain draws inspiration from her work. Ofili and Saye had met once before when they were both exhibiting in Venice and their meeting had a profound impact on Ofili, leading him to create this tribute. Khadija Saye was an extraordinary artist and an advocate for greater diversity in art saying ‘if you don’t see yourself represented then you don’t think you can do it. It’s the idea of opening the door for the next generation’. Never forgotten and always in our hearts 💚 . . . . .
