Kehinde Wiley Busts

Dear Santa:

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone....

But seriously, you bring me one of these Kehinde busts for X-mas this year and your negligence is ALL forgiven!

These are the first of two cast marble and resin busts in a series of three that CerealArt is introducing at a price of a mere 1,000 bucks a piece.


^^"The first bust is a Bernini influenced, Baroque style composition positioning a young man dressed in contemporary urban street attire styled as a 17th century monarch. The heroic pose is vigorously alive and imperious. The cloak, or hoodie in this case, is swept up, as if by a gust of wind, and the figure turns with resolute composure in the direction of the wind, as if calmly facing a challenge."


^^"The 2nd Neoclassical bust is reminiscent of a philosopher in Rafael’s legendary School of Athens. The strong, athletic young man dressed in street attire holds a book, scepter and a cognac bottle substituted for a wine jug. His soul searching contemplative eyes are have the feeling of Cezanne's 'Still Life with Skull' or Rogier van der Weyden 'Portrait of a Man Holding a Book.'"
