Alston Sajery 2010

"Alston Sajery" (2010) is a portrait by Kehinde Wiley (b. 1977). The painting features a young Black man in a green shirt against a vibrant, patterned backdrop. Wiley's work is known for its bold and graphic style, and this piece is no exception. The artist often reimagines historical portraiture by replacing traditional European subjects with Black figures from contemporary America, challenging long-held perceptions of power and representation in art.
