Top 5 Black Contemporary Artists You Should Know

[@JoiWalls]

Kehinde Wiley!!!! He’s my fav bc you introduced me!!!

[@djoel08]

My favorite as well

[@1Ma9iN8tive]

Mr Wiley is on another level. I love Amy Sherald’s style. Every artist featured here is easily astounding and shockingly impactful. Stunning video.

[@cyan8334]

I got to see Wangechi Mutu’s works at the Legion of Honor recently. Seeing her works and expression made her one of my favorite artists, everyone I was with was moved by her sculpture and collage and video works too!

[@sharongillesp]

Her work, particularly her collages, are the story of white america…because THAT is how they see African Americans.
She’s from Africa and has little realized experience of a chattel racist system.
She puts out images that are creative in technique but are negative and degrading in the context of who these enslaved people really were.

This was a great video - thanks so much 🙏

One of my favorite artists is Kerry John Marshall, I really loved his work, "SOB, SOB." I think a new favorite artist will emerge from this video! Thank you for your content, it's so thorough but concise at the same time,
