Kehinde Wiley Reaction


My reaction to Wiley's paintings is that he is almost mocking the seriousness of the original art. To do this, he is putting is own humorous twist on classical paintings. I think that this picture is a good example of this point. I mean what is funnier and more ridiculous than a man in modern day jeans and sweatshirt, riding a white horse as if he is a knight... not a alot.
