KAHINDE WILEY

Hip-hop and street credibility has been brought to the world of art by none other than Kahinde Wiley. Since 2001, Wiley's portraits of rappers and urban characters have not only changed the face of portraiture, but also added a unique twist on the 'classic' portrait.
Wiley's most recent work, 'The World Stage', see's him painting young black subjects from around the world (Africa & China). With fans like Michael Jackson and Elton John, Wiley is set to go far.

It's funny you should post this as I'm focusing on Kehinde for my design work at uni (they've got us working over the summer). I really like his work
