I haven’t read it yet, but Kehinde Wiley is featured in the new ArtNews. That’s reason enough for me to share some of his work here.
This is the first work of his I experienced. It’s in the Brooklyn Museum and it immediately drew me in because of the skill, the scale and the way in which he blends traditional approach and classical references with modern, urban subjects.
