STUDIO MUSEUM IN HARLEM ANNOUNCES INAGURAL EXHIBITIONS AND OPENING SEASON.

Kehinde Wiley Morpheus Magnet

$10.00

This rectangular lucite magnet features Kehinde Wiley’s 2022 painting titled Morpheus (Ndeye Fatou Mbaye), first exhibited in Kehinde Wiley: An Archaeology of Silence at Foundazione Giorgio Cini as a collateral event of the 59th international art exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.

Expanding on Kehinde Wiley's body of work DOWN from 2008, which was initially inspired by Hans Holbein the Younger's The Dead Christ in the Tomb as well as historical paintings and sculptures of fallen warriors and figures in the state of repose, Wiley created an unsettling series of prone Black bodies, re-conceptualizing classical pictorial forms to create a contemporary version of monumental portraiture, resounding with violence, pain, and death, as well as ecstasy.

Kehinde Wiley is a 2001-02 Studio Museum in Harlem artist in residence.
