Kehinde Wiley, an American Nigerian portrait painter, shows off his private villa in Lagos Island, Nigeria. The villa is a shift from the regular overly extravagant interior most homes in rich neighbourhoods like Lagos Island possess. The villa contains simple, yet magnificent African-inspired designs. Kehinde Wiley is a renowned painter in the United States. He painted former U.S. President Barack Obama's portrait for the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution, which was unveiled in 2018. The house is shaped by art, culture and the rhythms of his creativity. It contains sculptural furniture that embodies Africa's rich culture of weaving, with layered textures. The rooms are also bright and open, with a purposeful sanctuary tailored to Wiley's artistic taste.
