Kehinde Wiley: The World Stage: Africa, Lagos ~ DakarArtpace San Antonio - Hudson (Show)RoomSan Antonio, TexasJanuary 15 – May 03, 2009 Kehinde Wiley: The World Stage: Africa, Lagos ~ Dakar at Artpace San Antonio With the recent news that Patty Ortiz of the Museo de las Americas is moving to San Antonio, the time is ripe to offer Denver locals a good reason to visit and say hello: Artpace San Antonio is hosting an exhibit by Brooklyn based artist Kehinde Wiley, one of the hottest young painters on the contemporary scene, and whose work can be seen on the 3rd floor of the DAM. His style stands in stark contrast to the noteworthy German painters who have made their way through Denver recently, including Daniel Richter, Jonas Burgart and Suzanne Kuhn: Richter and Burgart create twisted worlds full of bizarre characters from dystopic futures, with bold colors on rough surfaces. Wiley's portraits are elegant, his characters stoic, even noble and his colors, while bold are subtly harmonious. On display until May 3rd, so plenty of time for a Texas sojourn. - KLH
