May 10, 2003 — June 14, 2003 76 Grand Street, New York Faux Real, was a painting installation by Kehinde Wiley, inspired by a Venetian scuola. The installation featured something rarely seen in contemporary art, a spectacular ceiling painting, along with four arched altarpieces. The works reference specific paintings by Titian and Tiepolo, but Wiley incorporated a range of art historical and vernacular styles in his paintings, from the French rococo to the contemporary urban street. He collapses history and style into a uniquely contemporary vision. More information about: Kehinde Wiley Select a project Rumors of War
