Kehinde Wiley creates paradigm shift in the art world
New York-based artist Kehinde Wiley did not see himself reflected on the walls of the world's great museums, so he set out to create classical-style paintings featuring men and women of color, often echoing masterworks. Rita Braver meets with the artist and tours a new exhibition of his work.

His paintings are BEAUTIFUL !
❤❤❤ Was at the San Francisco show last week. So grateful for how he allows Spirit to flow through him and bring us so much beauty.
Great job!! Excellent research and information.
It's amazing ...the critics voice their opinion but most of them cannot create a great piece of art like this!
Fabulous... I'm so inspired. One day.... the world will see me too..
Awesome

Do you mean the portraits based on the story of Judith in the Old Testament? Those paintings are just as classically inspired and just as artful as the rest of his work, but with all due respect, I don't think you really care about that. You just want something to be offended by.

The "original" paintings weren't white women holding black women's heads! And don't talk like "the book of Judith" is in the St. James Bible, it isn't. It is considered "non-historical ", so get over yourself trying to justify this racist and his violent racist POOR painting COPIES!!

Yes the power structure in the art world can try to denigrate this amazing artist by calling his work cartoonish.but celebrate some of the cartoonish junk they call Impressionism.

Praise for a monuement on either side shows why this country is going where it is going. Too many people sitting around worried about statues. Too many people holding on to hatred simply because they have personally failed so miserably in life that thats all they have... Pathetic...
Nice wallpaper. No paradigm shift here.
Whatever force??? Lol....he knows exactly what force enables him........The evil one
If this had been a white painter painting white women holding the severed heads of black women his "art" would not even be part of the discussion here.

You do realize that the beheading painting is titled "Judith and Holofernes" and is a direct reference to the biblical story of Judith in the Old Testament, right? Or are you just being sanctimonious without actually researching the painting you're talking about?

zonkster909 There are numerous pieces of art throughout history where not only black people are depicted hung, being enslaved, tortured, killed etc, but also Europeans themselves hanging, decapitating, enslaving, torturing, killing each other. These pieces are of course significant memoirs of your past in museums to expressive pieces by the artists themselves all over the world. You are allowed to show your history and express yourselves but of course your white privilege kicks in when it's the other way around.

The minute the assistant is doing the painting Alongside the artist...the art work lacks integrity. The artist work must be pure of only his or her touch.

I really appreciate the inclusion of female representation, but worry that it might be mistaken as sexualization by changing their clothing to something that elevates their perceived status. Just a thought...
this is why ‘real men’ don’t like art ( all that ‘beheading ‘ )

Take some photos of stereotyped black people, cut ir out in photoshop, put it over a flowery pattern fabric, reproduce it in large scale and... voilá: a Kehinde Wiley is done.

I know, I don't know how people are impressed by this.
Imposing black peoppe on European art doesn’t raise question it’s just apart of the the regular erasure of Europeans in every facet from both their own cultural spaces and historical narratives.
Skilfull craftsmanship but don’t call this art but rather kitsch

Racist?
What a patronizing and racist interviewer. Yuk.
So he is basically copying, recycling and bashing elements together. I don't care for the message in these pieces, I only care for how good it looks, and it doesn't. There is no mastery, no skill, no hard work in there. He probably doesn't even know about color theory or anatomy, for gods sake.

Just disappointed. He isn't anywhere close to being as good as he's been made out to be. Jeremy Geddes and Roberto Ferri are probably my personal favorite painters working today and they are many leagues above this guy but I don't think they get as much attention. I could be wrong, but I don't think they do. Though Ferri did do portraits of I think multiple popes. Anyhow something really petty about people who use that word "hater". It's nice you can label someone but can you address the argument?
