While Donald Trump continues to go out of his way to destroy Barack Obama‘s legacy, the 44th President of The United States is choosing to have his likeness immortalized on a canvas by none other than Kehinde Wiley.
The Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery has announced that Kehinde Wiley has been tapped to paint the official presidential portrait of the last real President the country has known.
Kehinde Wiley is known for his large-scale portraits of young Black men wearing the latest in Hip-Hop attire. Some of his more notable work includes portraits of The Notorious B.I.G., Michael Jackson, LL Cool J and other music legends.
For the portrait of Michelle Obama, Amy Sherald has been tapped to capture the grace of the former First Lady.
Needless to say, we can’t wait to lay eyes on the final product.
Don’t be surprised if Donald Trump taps Bob Ross to do his presidential portrait when his time comes.*
