Spotlight on Kehinde Wiley
										Kehinde Wiley is on display at the National Gallery in London until 18 April! If you want to prepare your visit, we've got you covered on the coolest contemporary artist of them all. Did you know that he was the first black artist to paint the official portrait of a US president? That he portrays ghetto heroes in the manner of 17th century portrait painters? That he has painted stars like Michael Jackson, Notorious BIG and Samuel Eto'o? All this information about Kehinde Wiley, the "street portraitist" in our playlist of the week!
										Produced to accompany the exhibition, “Kehinde Wiley: A New Republic,” this video series features the artist himself discussing his background, work, process, philosophy, and art historical influences.
