Kehinde Wiley's acclaimed "World Stage" series inserts into the
language of old master portraiture the very ethnicities and ethnic
iconography that western art has most excluded from it, or that
western art has portrayed solely in colonial, Orientalist terms.
Among the countries and continents he has previously depicted in
this ambitious traveling epic are Brazil, Africa, China, India and
Sri Lanka. The rhetoric of Wiley's paintings is powerful in its
compositional candor, color palette and playfulness with
constructions of visual meaning; as Paul D. Miller (DJ Spooky)
notes, "Wiley's canvas surfaces are a mirror reflection of
America's unceasing search for new meanings from the ruins of the
Old World of Europe and Africa." This volume includes a selection
of new "World Stage" portraits, focusing on contemporary youth from
Jewish-Ethiopian-Israeli, Jewish-Israeli and Arab-Israeli
communities.
