Kehinde Wiley’s iconoclastic juxtapositions create “a crisis of categories,” challenging historical and contemporary paradigms of class, race, power, and identity. His anonymous, urban portrait subjects are swathed in the accoutrements of nobility and privilege, while their outsized jerseys pronounce the ascendency of Hip Hop culture. This work is based on Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres’s stained glass window, St. Francis of Adelaide, in Paris at The Chapel of Saint Ferdinand.
