GLORIOUS
KEHINDE WILEY
EXHIBIT CONTINUES
AT OKC MUSEUM OF ART

Comments by Nancy Condit

Kehinde Wiley: A New Republic's great, big beautiful exhibition of paintings, icons, and
sculptures covers galleries on the first and third floors of the Oklahoma City Museum of
Art. He combines colors and dress of the present with classic portraiture of the the l8th 
century, while Micheal Jackson greets visitors in the traditional style of a ruler on a
rearing horse. Wiley, who is 40, has used such masters as Titian, Van Dyke, Ingres and
Manet.
