Kehinde Wiley’s steady rise to fame was accelerated upon his commission to do Barack Obama’s Presidential portrait. Drawing stylistic inspiration from the Old Masters, his style is a hybrid of Urban, French Rococo and Western African art. He is known for depicting young African-American men in typically feminine classical poses. (KAZoART Blog)
