The exhibition includes an overview of the artist?s prolific fourteen-year career and features sixty paintings and sculptures. Wiley's signature portraits of everyday men and women riff on specific paintings by Old Masters, replacing the European aristocrats depicted in those paintings with contemporary black subjects, drawing attention to the absence of African Americans from historical and cultural narratives. The subjects in Wiley's paintings often wear sneakers, hoodies, and baseball caps, gear associated with hip-hop culture, and are set against contrasting ornate decorative backgrounds that evoke earlier eras and a range of cultures. Through the process of "street casting," Wiley invites individuals, often strangers he encounters on the street, to sit for portraits. In this collaborative process, the model chooses a reproduction of a painting from a book and reenacts the pose of the painting?s figure. By inviting the subjects to select a work of art, Wiley gives them a measure of control over the way they're portrayed. 600 10 $a Wiley, Kehinde, $d 1977- $v Exhibitions. 600 14 $a Wiley, Kehinde, $d 1977- 700 1 $a Tsai, Eugenie, $e editor. 700 1 $a Choi, Connie H., $e writer of added commentary. 700 12 $a Wiley, Kehinde, $d 1977- $t Paintings. $k Selections. 710 2 $a Brooklyn Museum, $e host institution. $e host institution. 941 $a 5 952 $l GLAX641 $d 20231201010743.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909040324.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722051335.0 952 $l UUAX975 $d 20200109022710.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180117035016.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=29059C0E852411E5A48CCFF0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
