happen. >> yeah, i mean, you just try not to bring home some randoms from the club is what you shouldn't do. >> you know, when you have your bottle full of bub -- yeah. >> when you've consumed this much and two ladies say they want to go home with you, you make the wrong decisions? but i can't really feel sorry for him. >> you don't feel bad for him. >> he had a good time. exactly. [ sound effects ] >> oh, boy. >> all righty. williams makes $5 million a year. i'm sure it was insured. but man, everything looks better after a bottle of this. coming up, redefining art appreciation. the artist creating a whole new kind of art by re-imagining the

there's long been growing resentment among minority gr there's long been growing resentment among minority groups historically been the void of diverse voices and expressions. >> one young artist is changing that but reimagining the great masters. here's abc's mike bickell. >> artist ca hin day wiley made a name for himself by putting his spin on art history. the streets all over the world to ask men and women of color to

have an historical air to them because he draws inspiration from classic paintings, posing subject who's often appear in street clothes to mimic paintings by the old masters. he has carved out a place for a community that has traditionally been ignored throughout art history. a disparity he's been wear of since his youth. >> you saw the works of gainsboro, reynolds, constable. what effect did they have on you? >> my mother sent me to a school that allowed me to see some of the best art institutions in los angeles. among them were examples of some of the great french and british portraits. gilded frames, powdered wigs, jewels and lap dogs, all of the sort of strange code for class. and in a strange way, what i did most underserved communities in california into one of the most

i was here able to picture things that i wanted to see. i was able to imagine what i would. and the only limitations within that field were my imagination. >> reporter: despite having painted people of color almost exclusively for over a decade, his training began like so many other artists in art classes painting nude mostly white women. >> i was wondering if the challenges of moving what i would assume is mostly painting white women in the art studio, nudes, and transitioning almost 180 to clothed black men. >> it's arguable i know how to paint white women better than i do black men because so much of my educational history came from the tradition of having nude female models in live art classes. and to that degree, i think it's really fascinating to know there is very little in the way of a rule book on how to get the blues and the crimsons and the greens that go into shadows and highlights of black skin. even if the paintings aren't nude portraits of white women, in a strange sense they are. in a strange sense, they're indicting the ways in which we code for masculinity and

>> for wiley who identifies as gay, masculinity as it relates to race and class is very much at the center of his work. in 2012, he shifted had his focus to a subject that has always been central in painting but historically marge naturalized. women. >> by and large women have been there for male connion. even when we change account subject matter, the history has been presupposed in such a way that even and structurally, the way of looking is directed towards a male gay as creative creatures, we have to sort of know that habit. we have to criticize it, poke fun at it, embrace it. >> so how does he see his own work in relation to the paintings he saw as a child? you are sort of re-creating poses of old masters.

>> what you end up is this type of parallel commentary. it's neither something completely new nor is it the original object. it's the third object that sits on its own plane that at once critiques and celebrates a history. i want to be able to create paintings that are mysterious and snarky but i also want to make paintings that are sincere and able to change the world. you're not able to get all of that, and my job as an artist is to continue trying. >> reporter: mike big b -- mike bickell, abc news, new york. well, there is no trying. he's doing. he's definitely doing well with that, and props to mike bickell for doing a really good job with that piece. the paintings are reasonably priced, as well. >> is that right? >> for about 100 bucks or so. >> that's not bad at all. >> beautiful work. >> i love the twist. very interesting twist on art. >> coming up, another young artist redefining himself. justin bieber. artist redefining himself.
