Org caregiving to connect with experts and other caregivers. Together we can better care for ourselves, resentment among minority groups at what defines classic art has Diverse Voices and expressions. One young artist is changing that but reimagining the great masters. Heres abcs mike bickell. Artist ca hin day wiley made a name for himself by putting his spin on art history. For 15 years, he has taken to the streets all over the world to ask men and women of color to model for his portraits. While contemporary, the works have an historical air to them because he draws inspiration from classic paintings, posing subject whos often appear in street clothes to mimic paintings by the old masters. He has carved out a place for a community that has traditionally been ignored throughout art history. A disparity hes been wear of since his youth. You saw the works of gainsboro, reynolds, constable. What effect did they have on you . My mother sent me to a school that allowed me to see some of the best art institutions in los angeles. Among them were examples of some gilded frames, powdered wigs, jewels and lap dogs, all of the sort of strange code for class. And in a strange way, what i did was i walked from one of the most underserved communities in california into one of the most resplendent rooms florida los angeles. I was here able to picture things that i wanted to see. I was able to imagine what i would. And the only limitations within that field were my imagination. Reporter despite having pained people of color almost exclusively for over a decade, his training began like so many other artists in art classes painting nude mostly white women. I was wondering if the challenges of moving what i would assume is mostly painting white women in theard studio, nudes and transitioning almost 180 to clothed black men. Its arguable i know how to paint white women better than i do black men because so much of my educational history came from the tradition of having nude and to that degree, i think its really fascinating to know there is very little in the way of a rule book on how to get the blues and the crimsons and the greens that go into shadows and highlights of black skin. Even if the paintings arent nude portraits of white women, in a strange sense they are. In a strange sense, theyre indicting the ways in which we code for masculinity and femininity. For wiley who identifies as gay, masculinity as it relates to race and class is very much at the center of his work. In 2012, he shifted had his focus to a subject that has always been central in painting but historically marge naturalized. Women. By and large women have been there for male connion. Even when we change account subject matter, the history has been presupposed in such a way way of looking is directed towards a male gay as creative creatures, we have to sort of know that habit. We have to criticize it, poke fun at it, embrace it. So how does he see his own work in relation to the paintings he saw as a child . You are sort of recreating poses of old masters. Is it parity in a sense . What you end up is this type of parallel commentary. Its neither something completely new nor is it the original object. Its the third object that sits on its own plane that at once critiques and celebrates a history. I want to be able to create paintings that are mysterious and snarky but i also want to make paintings that are sincere and able to change the world. Youre not able to get all of that, and my job as an artist is to continue trying. Mike bickell, abc news, new york. Well, there is no trying. Hes definitely doing well with that, and props to mike bickell for doing a really good job with that piece. The paintings are ownbly priced, as well. Is that right . For about 100 bucks or so.

Kind of art by reimagining the works by the old masters. Youre watching world news now. Announcer world news now continues after this from our abc stations. Her nurse. Her personal assistant.

Org caregiving to connect with experts and other caregivers. Together we can better care for ourselves, theres long been growing resentment among minority groups at what defines classic art has historically been the void of one young artist is changing that one brushstroke at a time not just by reimagining art but reimagining the great masters. Artist Kehinde Wiley has made a name for himself by putting his spin on art history. For 15 years, he has taken to the streets all over the world to ask men and women of color to model for his striking portraits. While distinctly contemporary, the works have an historical air to them because he draws inspiration from classic paintings, posing subjects who often appear in street clothes to mimic paintings by the old masters. He has carved out a place for a community that has traditionally been ignored throughout art history. A disparity wiley has been aware of since his youth. You saw the works of gainsboro, reynolds, constable. What effect did they have on you . My mother sent me to a school that allowed me to see some of the best art institutions in los angeles. Among them were examples of some of the great french and british portraits. Jewels and lap dogs, all of the sort of strange code for class. And in a strange way, what i did was i walked from one of the most underserved communities in california into one of the most resplendent rooms in los angeles. I was here able to picture things that i wanted to see. I was able to imagine what i would. And the only limitations within that field were my imagination. Reporter despite having painted people of color almost exclusively for over a decade, wileys training began like so many other aspiring artists, in art classes painting nude, mostly white women. I was wondering if the challenges of moving what i would assume is mostly painting white women in the art studio, nudes and transitioning almost 180 to clothed black men. Its arguable i know how to paint white women better than i do black men because so much of my educational history came from the tradition of having nude female models in live art and to that degree, i think its really fascinating to know there is very little in the way of a rule book on how to get the blues and the crimsons and the greens that go into shadows and highlights of black skin. Even if the paintings arent nude portraits of white women, in a strange sense they are. In a strange sense, theyre indicting the ways in which we code for masculinity and code for femininity. For wiley who identifies as gay, the exploration of masculinity as it relates to race and class is very much at the center of his work. In 2012, he shifted his focus to a subject that has always been central in painting but historically marge margin naturalized. By and large women have been there for male consumption. Even when we change the subject matter, the history has way of looking is directed towards a male gay as creative creatures, we have to sort of know that habit. We have to criticize it, poke fun at it, embrace it. So how does wiley see his own work in relation to the paintings he saw as a child . You are sort of recreating poses of old masters. Is it parity in a sense . What you end up with is this its neither something original object. Its the third object that sits on its own plane that at once critiques and celebrates a history. I want to be able to create paintings that are mysterious and snarky but i also want to make paintings that are sincere and able to change the world. Youre not able to get all of that, and my job as an artist is to continue trying. Mike bickell, abc news, new york. Well, there is no trying. He is definitely doing well with that and props to mike bickell for doing a really good job with that piece. The paintings are reasonably priced, as well. Is that right . For about 100 bucks or so.
