... that Kehinde Wiley wanted to express "absolute joy – break dancing in the sky" when he created Go? Source: "So much of what goes on in ceiling frescoes are people expressing a type of levity and religious devotion and ascendancy", said Mr. Wiley, who has a studio in New York but spent much of the year in his studio in Dakar, Senegal. "For me the movement and space made so much more sense thinking about ways bodies twirl in break dancing". One woman wears baggy yellow pants and a crop top; another is outfitted in a denim jacket. Instead of angels and gods in classical frescoes, Mr. Wiley offers Nike logos and pigeons in midflight. The outstretched finger of a young woman in camouflage shorts conjures images of "The Creation of Adam" by Michelangelo on the Sistine Chapel's ceiling. “It’s this idea of expressing absolute joy — break dancing in the sky", he said, noting that break dancing began in New York City".
