Opening at the National Gallery of London (@nationalgallery) on 10 December, American artist Kehinde Wiley @kehindewiley explores the artistic conventions and canons of the Western landscape tradition in his first collaboration with a major UK gallery. Wiley’s images – as part quotation, part intervention – raise questions about power, privilege, identity, and above all highlight the absence or marginalisation of Black figures within European art. Situated in the Sunley Room, at the centre of the Gallery's collection, this free exhibition will draw out the dynamic relationship between Wiley's transcendental works and the National Gallery's historical landscapes and seascapes by artists such as Claude, Friedrich, Turner and Vernet.
