Laylah Ali born
1968
Laylah Ali came to the studio
in 2001 to make a print for the annual Exit Art benefit print portfolio
that included work by seven other artists. Ali often works in series
of panels that create non-linear narratives, but
this print is a single panel image
of open space, filled with the disembodied heads
of her simple, yet meticulously rendered comic book-style subjects.
The heads may be floating or falling, or perhaps blasted upwards
from some explosion. Most of them are damaged or scarred in some
way. The story told here is an enigma,but there is the suggestion
of violence and foreboding.
Laylah Ali is
represented by the Miller
Block Gallery in Boston and the 303
Gallery in New York. |
