Kehinde Wiley

Painter Kehindre Wiley is bringing his solo exhibition, The World Stage: Brazil, to the Roberts and Tilton gallery in Culver City. Inspired by Mao era propaganda, Wiley recruits young black males and arranges them in various power poses reminiscent of communist posters. For his trip to Brazil he imitated statues of city officials and nationalistic sculptures.
