Kehinde Wiley





Here are works by American artist Kehinde Wiley. These are incredibly precise and beautifully detailed photographs or large-scale oil paintings, all qualities that don't exactly translate well on the web. Lucky for all of us, he's busy and shows extensively. Read more about Wiley here and find his site here.

From top to bottom: The Virgin Martyr St. Cecelia (oil, 2008); After Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres' The Virgin with the Host (c-print, 2009); After Pontormo's Two Men with a Passage from Cicero on Friendship (c-print, 2009); Unity Painting (oil, 2010).
