In Kehinde Wile artwork the subject is young black men that represent power versus the older white men that were in the original portraits that Wile based his work on. The subjects hold a certain spot of power and authority in his pieces because they are the main focus and they're positioned in a way that draws attention to them. They're in artificial poses because it makes the viewer question what's going on with these works of art. It's not typical and because of that it's interesting. His work is a cliche and really gets the viewer's mind moving.
