Kehinde Wiley
1. His work, to me, is a mix of the old with the new. He blends old back rounds, that you would see as wallpaper in your Grandma’s house, with modern people and ideas. In one of the paintings, he has an old red design with flowers, and current athletes on the front. It conveys a mix of societies and their cultures.
2. I like Wiley’s paintings. I wouldn’t put one in my house, but I like them. They are something I haven’t seen before, and have really bright colors. Not many paintings have as bright of colors as Wiley does. I also like the fact that the backrounds are old, but the men are all modern. It gives the men a powerful look.
