Kehinde Wiley "Portrait of a Young Gentleman" Deck of Cards

$39.95

This deck of cards features A Portrait of a Young Gentleman, (2021) by Kehinde Wiley, which was created as a contemporary response to Thomas Gainsborough's iconic Blue Boy portrait (1770). This set of playing cards is inspired by the manner in which Wiley's painting reimagines Gainsborough's young, white subject as a Black, Senegalese surfer and replaces the original moody, wooded landscape with a vibrant, floral backdrop.

54 playing cards, linen embossed finish.
Net proceeds from your purchase support the artist-in-residence program Black Rock Sénégal, founded by Wiley in 2019.
