As a textile person, I am inspired by Bisa Butler as well as the Gee's Bend quilters. In addition, if you ever have the chance to experience a Kehinde Wiley exhibition do not hesitate to go--his work is amazing, gigantic, mind blowing, beautiful.
Couldn't agree more! Kehinde Wiley is indeed an absolute must-see. His works are just so incredible to see up close and in person. I will go out of my way to attend any Kehinde Wiley exhibition I can. And yes, textile artists like Bisa Butler and the Gee's Bend quilters are creating some of my favorite contemporary art right now. (As far as I'm concerned, the Gee's Bend quilters are the past, present *and* future of contemporary art!)
