Artist Chris Ofili spent a long time developing paintings around a number of visual motifs used repetatively in order to build up a drawing. In this case he is using painted dots but he succesfully utilizes small repeats of a head/portrait.

The work seems to be to be heavily influenced by aboriginal art, the work here is by Ginger Riley and although not utilising the dot as heavily it is clear to see the references.
