クリスティーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (クリスティーズInstagram)「Kehinde Wiley's 'Olabode' was painted in 2007, a pivotal year during his World Stage Series. It was during this period that the artist lived, worked, and opened satellite studios in different countries in order to become familiar with local culture, history, and art.⠀ .⠀ Olabode, a name of Nigerian Yoruba origin meaning 'wealth returns', is most likely the name of the sitter, whom Wiley may have discovered walking along the streets of NYC or in Lagos, Nigeria. This portrait has been in the same private collection since being painted.⠀ .⠀ 'Most of the backgrounds I end up using are sheer decorative devices,' he explained. 'For the backgrounds in the World Stage Series, I look for traditional decorative objects, textiles, or devotional objects of that culture to draw upon.'⠀ .⠀ Kehinde Wiley (b.1977), 'Olabode', 2007.
