451. Sleep - Kehinde Wiley - 2008 - RFC

I'm in love with Kehinde Wiley. His huge painting at DIA is one of my favorites (but I haven't yet found a decent, large image). In Sleep, clothes are missing, bringing the sexuality so often suggested in Wiley's paintings forefront. It's still undeniably Wiley. His motifs and aesthetic are unmistakably his, making him an essential artist.
