Kehinde Wiley Portraits

Wiley’s paintings often blur the boundaries between traditional and contemporary modes of representation. Rendered in a realistic mode–while making references to specific Old Master paintings–Wiley creates a fusion of period styles, ranging from French Rococo, Islamic architecture and West African textile design to urban hip hop and the "Sea Foam Green" of a Martha Stewart Interiors color swatch. Wiley's slightly larger than life size figures are depicted in a heroic manner, as their poses connote power and spiritual awakening. Wiley’s portrayal of masculinity is filtered through these poses of power and spirituality.

Assignment:
  • Explore and discover art historical poses from AP Art History books (choose 5 poses to mimic)
  • Using the Studio Lighting equipment conduct a "photo shoot" with yourself as the model or friend(s)
  • Take digital images of all 5 poses from art history books (take many versions and angles of each pose)
  • Upload digital images to Photoshop
  • Using Layer<New Adjustment Layer (color correct the image to your liking), crop and remove background
  • In Illustrator, create a detailed "wallpaper" pattern (geometric, organic, etc)
  • Place image of model in Illustrator--create "interaction" between background and the person (wallpaper should be behind, in front, around, and through the person and their clothing)......Be creative with how to "INTERACT"
Kehinde Wiley [from Wikipedia]  (born 1977) is a New York-based portrait painter, who is known for his highly naturalistic paintings of people with black and brown skin in heroic poses.

He earned his BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1999 and his MFA from Yale University, School of Art in 2001.[1]

Art Wiley's painting style has been compared to that of such traditional portraitists as Reynolds, Gainsborough, Titian and Ingres. The Columbus Museum of Art, which hosted an exhibition of his work in 2007, describes his work with the following: "Kehinde Wiley has gained recent acclaim for his heroic portraits which address the image and status of young African-American men in contemporary culture."

His portraits are based on photographs of young men who Wiley sees on the street. He painted men from Harlem’s 125th Street, then South Central neighborhood where he was born. Dressed in street clothes, his models were asked to assume poses from the paintings of Renaissance masters, such as Tiziano Vecellio and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.

The artist describes his approach as "interrogating the notion of the master painter, at once critical and complicit." Wiley’s figurative paintings "quote historical sources and position young black men within that field of power.” In this manner, Wiley’s paintings fuse history and style in a unique and contemporary manner.
