Book Reviews of Black Light
Book Review: Black Inspiration
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a must have for anyone interested in Kehinde Wiley's oeuvre. The format of the book is generous in every way. The over-sized format (31 cm x 38.5 cm) allows his artwork and subjects to shine. There is plenty of blank (albeit black) space between illustrations so that each image can be properly contemplated. Printed in China, the quality of the printing, in my opinion, rivals German presses. Every minute detail of this book has been well thought out. To be appreciated, the book has to be held and perused.
Wiley's work caught my eye immediately. I tend to follow artists' work that is highly personal, individual and unique, examples are Cy Twombly and Francis Bacon. Wiley's work is probably just as inaccessible to the average viewer as Twombly's and Bacon's, and just as spectacular. His work is for the curious and courageous, not for the faint of heart. The youth and energy of this artist is evident in every page of this book. The previous reviewer, Grady Harp, delivers a spot-on description of the artwork and the background of the artist. If you like this artist's work, you must buy this book!
