Kehinde Wiley: Facts and life by Tiago Azevedo<br /><br />This video is about Kehinde Wiley, he was born in Los Angeles in 1977. When he was young, he was strongly influenced by seeing the works of Gainsborough and Constable. <br /><br />In 2017, he was commissioned to portrait President Barack Obama <br />Wiley and Amy Sherald, are the first black artists to paint official portraits of the president or First Lady. <br /><br />What I like the most is that he uses classical techniques and conventions of historical Western art to portray men and women of color in a contemporary way working to shift racial power imbalances reproduced by contemporary art and popular media. <br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for your support! <br />Tiago <br /><br />----------------------------------------¬¬¬¬-------------------------------------¬-¬-¬-¬-------<br /><br />INSTAGRAM <br />https://instagram.com/tiagoazevedoart/ <br />Friend me on Facebook! <br />https://www.facebook.com/tiagoazevedoart <br />Follow me on Twitter! <br />https://twitter.com/TG__Art <br />TUMBLR <br />http://tgoazevedo.tumblr.com/ <br />BLOGGER <br />http://www.tgoazevedo.blogspot.de/
