  • Catalogue Essay


    "There is a multiplicity of any number of periods, artists, ideas, any number of political and moral allegiances in my work, and that’s the point. I think it’s always important not to shut the work down to any sense of high-art audience versus black-people-in-the-street audience. I’m not interested in having to choose between being real and being heady. I’m trying to be true to an essence of urgency, to replicate sensations and ideas visually, to bring to the table not only my own desires but things that point to the larger evolution of culture, art, and art history," (C. Kim “Faux Real: Interview with Kehinde Wiley,” Black Romantic, New York, 2002, p. 54).
