Kehinde Wiley creates giant Renaissance masterpieces with a modern twist
Rendered in a realistic mode –– while making references to specific old master paintings –– Wiley creates a fusion of period styles, ranging from French rococo, Islamic architecture and West African textile design to contemporary hip–hop culture.
These paintings are HUGE...I had the pleasure of seeing a small show at the Portland Museum and was shocked by the grand scale of his work...truly something that must be seen in person in truly appreciate.
