TITUS KAPHAR

I've found some paintings of this guy today and i really like them. So I've searched internet to know a little more about this artist and that's for example what i've found:
"Contemporary artist Titus Kaphar makes oil-on-canvas copies of European and American portrait paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries and reconfigures them in strategic ways to create a dialogue about race, art and representation. His work is at once beautiful and halting as he dances between fictional narrative and history."

Check his blog

, it's full of his paintings.
