Kehinde Wiley stained glass window, Brooklyn Museum
Shantavia Beale II, Kehinde Wiley
Recently went to the Brooklyn Museum at their Target First Saturdays (the evening's theme was dedicated to Jean-Michel Basquiat) and got to see the popular Kehinde Wiley exhibition. Loved the pattern details, his amazing portraiture skills (the skin tones were epic!), and the sheer scale of the pieces. As you enter the exhibit you encounter these cathedral-sized stained glass windows, backlit and beaming in all their gangster glory. Lots of pattern inspiration for me. Go see it before it ends May 24.
