Hip-hop and art history collide on Kehinde Wiley's canvases, where contemporary urban black men pose as angels, prophets, and saints set against richly colored swirls of ornate and rococo ornamentation.

    the mix of old iconographic poses and contemporary culture is really compelling. this site has more images.

  • I don't know how to articulate my acclaim without sounding like an art snob...juxtaposition, classical vs. contemporary... blah blah blah.. but damn what an incredible artist. Time capsule material for sure. Great pod!

  • To see this revolutionary art is both inspiring, and a big therapeutic! Glad (and suprised) to see that his work has actually made it into public. His gallery is great. Can't wait to go to the exhibit in Ft. Worth, TX.

  • i read about kehinde a while ago in complex magazine.

    he does things with art that i have only seen in other painters, such as hyper-realist mike thompson.

    the man does what no other artist has done, with a mix of hip-hop and past classic pieces.

    he will be revered, centuries after he's gone, no question.

  • I love the fact that he's educated in traditional art but not subjected to it historical meaning. His painting is flawless.

  • What a fascinating concept. You really do a great job of not only shooting, but structuring this pod. We get a great deal of information in subtle ways that lends to greater understanding. Also, the fact that he is so talented and articulate makes it even stronger.
