- Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Laylah Ali, from the "Power" episode in Season 3 of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.
"Power" premiered in September 2005 on PBS.
Working in extremely detailed paintings that take months to create, Laylah Ali combines cartoon and folkloric aesthetics to explore notions of ethnicity and social violence. In her studio, Ali demonstrates the tricky process of working with gouache on paper and speculates that the physiological effects of color and light on the eye may have real social effects.
Laylah Ali was born in Buffalo, New York, in 1968, and lives and works in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Learn more about the artist at: art21.org/arti...

#LaylahAli #Power #Art21
I was introduced to her art decades ago by some friends. Her images always stayed with me, I am still, to the day, struck by how simple, yet not simple at all, but constructed, thoughtful & profound her art is. ❤
and dodgeball!! I was usually the only brown person in my school & I would Always win at dodgeball - nobody could get me. For me it was exhilarating!
A recently discovered 51, 000 year-old cave art in Indonesia highlights the startling truth that from our earliest emergence anatomical modern humans have been creating stories to understand our world, our place in it and each other. Storytelling is what separates humans from the other living species. Laylah Ali's art is creative individual expression plucked out the body as vessel, as art was always intended to be, not an escapist fantasy 🧐
I really enjoyed hearing about her thought process. Truly fascinating.
I think I shall watch the DVD ART IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY season nine later today.

Laylah Ali, Your art is wonderful, thanks. Beautiful and moving. I love Guash and paper too.
Captivating artist, loved every word and image❤😊❤
I was a school child in the late 1950's. Dodge ball was just one of the ball games we'd play at recess. Nobody tried to hurt anyone. It was a fun game where you just tried to get out of the way.
Well, in the upper midwest we used to call dodgeball "Murderball"---so extrapolate from that what you will.
I was a schoolchild in the 1970s . Just seeing the dark red brown balls in Layla’s work was enough to remind me what dodgeball was like. Getting stung right in the face!? Painful and humiliating! If it was fun I don’t remember those times!
I think this is the first time I’ve seen the commingling of dance and the visual arts that didn’t make me roll my eyes! This was exciting and weird and seemed so natural. Really cool. I’d love to see more. I wonder what the project is going to become?
