The Seattle Art Museum presents the exhibition Kehinde Wiley: A New Republic from February 11–May 8, 2016. The exhibition features nearly sixty large-scale works—including paintings, sculpture, and stained glass by renowned artist Kehinde Wiley. Questions of race, gender, and politics of representation arise through Wiley’s use of contemporary people of color styled in traditional European portraiture conventions.
