Hand embellished pigment print on paper in artist's frame // Kehinde Wiley – Sophie Arnould Study II This hand-embellished pigment print from 2016 portrays a male figure gazing upward, evoking a sense of contemplation or transcendence. The subject, dressed in a vivid red hoodie with white lettering, stands out against an ornate blue and white background, which features floral motifs and delicate birds in flight. Wiley’s juxtaposition of classical decorative patterns with contemporary streetwear creates a unique tension, blending historical and modern elements. The rich, polished tones of the skin emphasize the dignity of the subject, a hallmark of Wiley's approach to elevating everyday individuals into positions of power often reserved for European aristocracy in art history.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
