The artist Kehinde Wiley

  • Contemporary US portrait painter living in NYC.
  • Depicts primarily African-American individuals often in the classical style of the Old Masters.
  • In 2017, became the first Black artist to produce an official portrait of a U.S. President.

U.S. portrait painter Kehinde Wiley was born in Los Angeles, California, on February 28, 1977, to an African-American mother and Nigerian father. He went to Los Angeles County High School for the Arts and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1999. Two years later, he successfully completed his master's degree in the same subject at Yale University before going to the Studio Museum in Harlem (New York City) as a visiting artist. Wiley gained a great deal of publicity in 2017 when he was commissioned to paint Barack Obama, becoming the first Black artist to make an official portrait of a President of the United States.

His work has been exhibited in many museums, including the Brooklyn Museum in New York City, CONNERSMITH (formerly Conner Contemporary) in Washington, D.C., and the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Kehinde Wiley is known for his naturalistic paintings. His large-scale works are characterized by the fact that he often depicts African-American people from different ethnic and social classes, often in the classical style of the Old Masters. In this way, he raises issues of power, privilege, and identity in his works, and in particular highlights the absence or lack of Black figures in European art.

His style ranges from French Rococo to Islamic architecture to West African textile design. Sometimes his work is referred to as Bling-Bling Baroque. Wiley himself says that artist Kerry James Marshall is a major influence on his art.

Der Künstler Kehinde Wiley

  • Zeitgenössischer US-amerikanischer Porträtmaler, der in NYC lebt.
  • Bildet vornehmlich afroamerikanische Personen oft im klassischen Stil der Alten Meister ab.
  • Fertigte 2017 als erster Schwarzer Künstler ein offizielles Porträt eines US-Präsidenten an.

Der US-amerikanische Porträtmaler Kehinde Wiley wurde am 28. Februar 1977 als Sohn einer afroamerikanischen Mutter und eines nigerianischen Vaters in Los Angeles (Kalifornien) geboren. Er ging auf die Los Angeles County High School for the Arts und erlangte am San Francisco Art Institute 1999 einen Bachelor of Fine Arts. Zwei Jahre darauf schloss er sein Masterstudium im selben Fach an der Yale University erfolgreich ab, bevor er als Gastkünstler an das Studio Museum in Harlem (New York City) ging. Einen großen Bekanntheitsgrad erlangte Wiley im Jahr 2017, als er den Auftrag erhielt, Barack Obama zu malen und damit der erste Schwarze Künstler wurde, der ein offizielles Porträt eines Präsidenten der Vereinigten Staaten anfertigte.

Seine Werke wurden in vielen Museen ausgestellt, darunter das Brooklyn Museum in New York City, das CONNERSMITH (ehemals Conner Contemporary) in Washington, D.C. und die National Portrait Gallery in London.

Kehinde Wiley ist bekannt für seine naturalistischen Gemälde. Seine großflächigen Malereien zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass er oftmals afroamerikanische Personen aus verschiedenen ethnischen und sozialen Schichten abbildet, häufig im klassischen Stil der Alten Meister. Auf diese Weise wirft er in seinen Werken Fragen zu Macht, Privilegien und Identität auf und verdeutlicht vor allem die Abwesenheit bzw. den Mangel an Schwarzen Figuren in der europäischen Kunst.

Sein Stil reicht dabei vom französischen Rokoko über islamische Architektur bis hin zu westafrikanischem Textildesign. Mitunter werden seine Arbeiten auch als Bling-Bling Baroque bezeichnet. Wiley selbst sagt, dass der Künstler Kerry James Marshall großen Einfluss auf seine Kunst hat.

Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Wiley exhibition at the 59th Biennale di Venezia

Western European art history is brimming with depictions of fallen warriors, martyrs and other heroic figures. The American artist Kehinde Wiley has made this heroic epic his own and used it to create completely new portraits: black people who have been silenced take the place of the Western European ideal figures. The Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice is now taking them up in the exhibition.

Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Wiley-Ausstellung zur 59. Biennale di Venezia

Die westeuropäische Kunstgeschichte strotzt nur so vor Darstellungen von gefallenen Kriegern, Märtyrern und anderen heroische Figuren. Diesen Helden-Epos macht sich der US-amerikanische Künstler Kehinde Wiley zu Eigen und formt daraus ganz neue Porträts: Schwarze Menschen, die zum Schweigen gebracht wurden, treten an die Stelle der westeuropäischen Idealgestalten. Die Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venedig greift sie nun in der Ausstellung auf.
