Kehinde Wiley, the first black artist to paint an official portrait of a US president with his depiction of Barack Obama, will hold an exhibition at the National Gallery.
The US artist is known for “highlighting the absence or relegation of black figures within European art”.
A free exhibition of Wiley’s new work will go on show in Trafalgar Square this winter.
Instead of portraiture, he will look at artistic conventions in the European landscape tradition in the exhibition.
