The US artist Kehinde Wiley has brought his trademark exuberant style to Paris, with a series of ten dazzling stained-glass windows inspired by Old Masters that are now on show at the Petit Palais (until 15 January 2017). Wiley refers to Christ and the Virgin Mary in his colourful creations, but the subjects are young black and mixed-race people whom he met during ad-hoc street castings, the organisers say. “The result is a collision where art history and popular culture come face to face,” they add.
