    Sean Kelly Gallery is delighted to announce, What the Light Becomes , Kehinde Wiley’s fourth exhibition at the gallery. The exhibition focuses specifically on contemporary New Yorkers and, more broadly, on how New York represents a portrait of America at this moment, not as a single cohesive identity, but as something diverse, shifting and continually being remade. The exhibition is conceived of as a love letter to New York and a return to the subject of the city that launched Wiley’s career, after a number of years in which his practice has taken him around the world. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, November 5 from 6-8pm. The artist will be present.
