He’s very good, technically. He’s the one who did Obama’s official portrait. The statue looks good, although the rider looks like he has breasts from some angles. He made it as a counter to the equestrian statues of Confederate generals, although I don’t quite get the connection.
From Wiki:
” New York Magazine described his variation of the painting of Judith Beheading Holofernes as standing out among the others. It described the painting as showing “a tall, elegant black woman in a long blue dress. In one hand, she holds a knife. In the other, a cleanly severed brunette female head”. Wiley said about his work: “It’s sort of a play on the ‘kill whitey’ thing”.[23][6] Wiley exhibited a second similar painting, also in 2012. It also features a black woman holding a knife in one hand and a white female severed head in the other hand.”
So there’s that, too.
