Kehinde Wiley - Creating Art That’s Familiar in an Unfamiliar Way | The Daily Show 

Caroline F Thanks for the interesting info and the recommendations of other artists. It's great that you introduce your students to not only his work but his methods. Have a great day and keep up the good work as our kids need all the education they can get in the arts!

my art teacher introduced us to kehinde and kara! we actually took a trip to the barnes foundation in philly and i saw some of their pieces in person!

Thanks so much for the recommendation and Info!

Indeed! Thank you for sharing related artists.

I love your feedback, and thank you for the artist suggestions, I am a HS art teacher and I always teach Kehinde Wiley and Kara Walker but because of your comment I am adding Wangechi Mutu and Yinka Shonibare.

You do results like the dimpled one don't you Dame Ellis?

Yes

Softball interview for a bad artist.

Dame Ellis Kehinde is fantastically well spoken. Came to VMFA revealing of Rumours of War with no notes. Stunned me

Lol...Dumas

Thanks for that info, had to hit up wikipedia.

Are you kidding me? Really? Thanks. Monte Cristo was me favorite.

He was a mixed man and biracial his father was white his mother was black

@@Eliburgo That's odd. When a Black achiever with caucasian heritage is celebrated, white supremacists come around and hush away his Black heritage and stress his caucasian heritage, as if it is why she\he was an achiever in the first place but when there is a negative\embarrassing event or act involving a Black person with caucasian heritage , we are reminded that that person is Black. Funny isn't it?

The first openly LGBTQ+ artist.

Answers my question. ✌🏿

Nah, the beauty of the oppressed man is much more dificult.

somebody on the internet absolutely!

NO A STRONG BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN WOULD HAVE BEEN PAINTED WITH CLOTHING ON. THAT ACTUALLY SHOWS HIS HATE FOR HER

@@wildhogs1ful I don't know what his thought process was about painting them with little clothes on but I get the feeling it wasn't because he hates women. Maybe he's trying to highlight beauty? He definitely doesn't have hate for them though

@@mlggamer5296 He's just trying to get paid. The subjects are fake progressives. Next!

Sara Israel - “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 ‘control over the way they’re portrayed.’” Hence, he doesn’t choose their clothing. He portrays them as they are on the street and they choose which European masterpiece they want to imitate. gothamist.com/arts-entertainment/photos-catch-kehinde-wileys-stunning-show-at-the-brooklyn-museum#photo-1

And a president gutsy enough to hire him and go along with it.

Louie Albrecht I especially love that he took those damn statues the southern states like to claim can't be removed because "they are an important part of our confederate history" when in reality most were not erected until the 1930s-1950s and not in confederate times and he modernized them using a contemporary black man. He completely changed the symbolism, making those offensive statues obsolete.

Anjali Baskar He's wonderful! Thanks for the good laugh this morning. I needed it!

Well Trevor is in south Africa

Where did he go to school?

Linamee Swanson he went to San Francisco Art Institute. It’s a really great school. Super small.

@@elicather8168 thanks eli!

for those who don't know German: just a good interview. Really amazing. Thanks a lot, Trevor!

No it does not. Sorry.

No, but I’m proud to live a few blocks away from it at the VMFA!

Barbara Banks: Aww, boo! Sadclownface.

You're not the only one. I find myself crying even more lately w/ the political climate the way it has been. Sad for the downfall of our country. 😥

I'll tell you when I teared up upon looking at Wiley's Obama portrait: it was 2018 in the National Portrait Gallery, seeing it there for the first time, and thinking about the person who was then President of the USA. The contrast made me burst into tears, right there in the gallery.

TTv GOTM_ Boys2 gets his due not dew, but other than that minor correction, I love it too. Artists need recognition and we the public need exposure and education to all the fabulous art and music we can get!

You said it !!!

Sher Sher listening to any articulate men is so special. Sorry, I couldn't help myself lol.

Y'all sound so lame maybe be around educate people ... Black Americans are passionate in what they believe...stop caring about how we talk and understand the culture... We talk different and express different.. The message it the point...

Made a trip up last weekend after seeing this video earlier. Quick 2 hours from Raleigh where we have 2 of his pieces in collection!

He said that and I ran to Google to see where in Va. lol I live in Raleigh, so def coming up for it! We have two of his paintings here in the perm collection. indyweek.com/news/recent-backlash-kehinde-wiley-s-work-ncma-gets-wrong-art-s-past-present/

Karrie Ford I make sure I don't skip any Daily Show or Trevor Noah interviews whether Trevor is the interviewer or the interviewee because he has a wonderful perspective on the world. I too was "living under a rock" for a few years and am happy to see the Daily Show in such capable hands. Whoever the guest, Trevor always makes it interesting and informative!
