My arts hero

My arts hero is chris ofili because i saw shown one of his pieces.  It was a picture of a pair of shoes made out of Elephant dung!  When I saw them, I thought 'Wow!'. 

Find out about chris ofili by following this link

Chris Ofili is a black british visual artist who often incorporates elephant dung into his pieces.  He won the Turner Prize.  When he won it he said that he'd won it for all the black people out there, to show them that all black people are capable of success.



This is my favourite of his pieces.  I like it because it looks attractive.  It's eye catching.
