Presenting new work by American artist Kehinde Wiley, as he
explores the European landscape tradition through film and painting
The American artist Kehinde Wiley (b. 1977) is best known for his
spectacular portraits of African Americans with knowing references
to the grand European tradition of painting. He was commissioned in
2017 to paint Barack Obama, becoming the first Black artist to
paint an official portrait of a president of the United States. His
work makes reference to old master paintings by positioning
contemporary Black sitters in the pose of the original historical
figures, raising issues of power and identity, and the absence or
relegation of Black and minority-ethnic figures within European
art. For his first collaboration with a major UK gallery, Wiley
will depart from portraiture to explore the European landscape
tradition through the medium of film and painting, casting Black
Londoners from the streets of Soho. His new works will explore
European Romanticism and its focus on epic scenes of oceans and
mountains, drawing inspiration from the National Gallery's
masterpieces in landscape and seascape. Published by National
Gallery Company/Distributed by Yale University Press Exhibition
Schedule: The National Gallery, London (December 10, 2021-April 18,
2022)
