DOWN, is an exhibition of seven heroically scaled paintings of classical constructions of fallen soldiers, saints and warriors--art phenom, KehindeWiley's most ambitious series to date.

.

Wiley says, DOWN is "an answer to the negative views of young Black men in American society. It recognizes an idiom that can be seen from a distance as a negative form transformed into something more fabulous and joyful..."

.

The subjects of the paintings are all African-American men in their late teens and twenties found in Brooklyn chosen by twin brothers and Marc Jabobs accessory designers, Dee and Ricky Jackson.

.

DOWN will remain on view until December 20 at Dietch Projects.
