His figures look too rigid and plasticy. Look up Jeremy Lipking, David Kassan, or Burton Silverman, these are some of the best realist artists in the world.

While I think his work is pretty dope, Art is subjective, everyone knows that. Respect to Dime for even posting an article like this. If you like someone else, hey shoot them an email or suggest they compare your fav artist to a ball player in the comments. Wow to the Kehinde hate.

When someone is compared to him I just naturally assume you think he is either the best at their respective body of work, or if not the best one of the top (as in top 2). If you are focusing more on the fact that he is an upcoming and exciting new artist I can see how that is a closer comparison, although it still seems a bit outlandish to me. Maybe he is producing quite the buzz around the New York art scene right now, but if you asked around the world I would be surprised if most people even knew his name. As for me, I personally have always enjoyed the work of Robert Rauschenberg (who unfortunately died last year). I'm not going to try and sound all high and mighty and claim he is the best of all time or anything, since it is purely subjective, but he is my personal favourite. @ Aaron:

I even have some of his work inked on my arm. This Kehinde kid is average at best. That installation is essentially some basic graphic design that millions of people do for a salary at magazines and web dev companies the world over.
