Kehinde Wiley
Kehinde Wiley is a painter that paints African American Males placed in a heroic role. He takes other paintings and makes the man be in the same stance as the chosen work of art. The backgrounds of these paintings usually have a pattern, which is different from the original. The paintings he chooses from generally comes from the Renaissance period. You can find Kehinde's work at the Detroit Institute of Art.
I think that Kehinde Wiley does good work. I like how he takes old paintings and put a modern spin on it. I feel like the facial expressions of these men very plain and could be livened up a bit. His work is very neat and his subjects are very detailed. I think Wiley's work would appeal to people who go to art museums and look at the art or just to buy and put around your house.
