The one and only @kehindewiley! His portraits depict “contemporary African-American and African-Diasporic individuals that subvert the hierarchies and conventions of European and American portraiture.” On his website, Kehinde shares further: “Working in the mediums of painting, sculpture, and video, Wiley’s portraits challenge and reorient art-historical narratives, awakening complex sociopolitical issues that many would prefer remain muted.”

“My work is about the eternal question that arises throughout one's life: What is the significance of human existence?”
I simply adore @chieshimizu_’s sculptures; their physical appearance, energy and what they represent are beyond captivating. Chié shares in her statement: “The subject of sculpture is always someone in general, rather than one in particular. It is my attempt to entice people to relate to the positions of those sculpted figures. The objects on the figures are reflections of one's life – metaphor and suggestion of what life might be about. Most of my works have been “untitled,” my intention being to speak directly to intrinsic senses while avoiding premeditated impressions.”
