\r\n\tOpening on September 20 and running through January 10, 2016, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth<\/strong><\/a> presents Kehinde Wiley: A New Republic, an overview highlighting the range of the artist's prolific 14-year career and comprising approximately 60 works. Ever since our cover story with Kehinde in January 2010, we have been so excited to see the astronomical rise of the artist's career. He has become both a blue chip staple and museum star, and it's all so great. <\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tFrom the museum: <\/div>\r\n

\r\n\tThe exhibition begins with early examples of paintings inspired by Wiley’s observations of street life in Harlem; these images of African-American men mark the onset of his focused exploration of the male figure. In subsequent work, Wiley further examines the European tradition of portraiture, taking specific paintings by renowned masters such as Titian, Van Dyck, and Manet and replacing the historical subjects with contemporary, young black men sporting fashionable urban gear. These likenesses are set against ornate, decorative backgrounds on large canvases — part of Wiley's signature style — in order to raise issues of class in addition to race and gender. A New Republic also includes a selection from the artist’s ongoing World Stage project, examples of his bronze busts, and a chapel-like structure that showcases his new stained-glass "paintings."<\/p>","video":null,"gallery":"{gallery}59084{\/gallery}","extra_fields":"[{\"id\":\"11\",\"value\":\"\"},{\"id\":\"4\",\"value\":\"\"},{\"id\":\"6\",\"value\":\"A New

\r\n\tFormer Juxtapoz<\/em> cover artist (January, 2010) Kehinde Wiley<\/a> opened an exhibit of new paintings at The Brooklyn Museum<\/a> this Feburary. Kehinde Wiley: A New Republic<\/em> raise questions about race, gender, and the politics of representation by portraying contemporary African American men and women using the conventions of traditional European portraiture. The exhibition includes an overview of the artist’s prolific fourteen-year career and features sixty paintings and sculptures. Wiley's signature portraits of everyday men and women riff on specific paintings by Old Masters, replacing the European aristocrats depicted in those paintings with contemporary black subjects, drawing attention to the absence of African Americans from historical and cultural narratives. 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.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tThrough 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 a measure of control over the way they're portrayed.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tThe exhibition includes a selection of Wiley's World Stage paintings, begun in 2006, in which he takes his street casting process to other countries, widening the scope of his collaboration.<\/p>\r\n
