In An Archaeology of Silence, the senseless deaths of men and women around the world are transformed into a powerful elegy of resistance. Wiley investigates the iconography of death and sacrifice in Western art, tracing it across religious, mythological, and historical subjects. It expands on his 2008 series, Down - a group of large-scale portraits of young Black men inspired by Hans Holbein the Younger’s The Dead Christ in the Tomb (1521–1522). American artist Kehinde Wiley’s new body of paintings and sculptures confronts the silence surrounding systemic violence against Black people through the visual language of the fallen figure.
