Kehinde Wiley is best known for his distinctive presidential portrait of Barack Obama. But Wiley has spent most of his career painting vibrant portrayals of everyday Black men and women. A new exhibition of his work focuses on grief and mourning and also asks whose lives have value. Jeffrey Brown sat down with Wiley for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
