  Concept NV is pleased to announce the visit to Jamaica of renowned New York based portrait painter Kehinde Wiley, April 22 to May 05, 2013.   This exploratory visit will facilitate preparation for ‘The World Stage: Jamaica’ , a portrait exhibition to be presented at the Stephen Friedman Gallery in London, October 2013.   Mr. Wiley’s portraits are typically based on photographs, and include heroic portraits which address the image and social recontextualization of primarily, black and brown young men in contemporary culture. Over the years his extensive ‘World Stage’ series has expanded to include models from countries such as China, India, Israel, Brazil and Senegal.   These portraits incorporate aspects of the history and culture of each country and are often a source of national pride. Jamaica will now be added to this venerable line-up. During his visit, Wiley will conduct photo sessions with people of interest whose portraits will be displayed in ‘The World Stage
