The Work of Layla Ali
The implicit violence, frozen narratives, and pared-down, comic-book
aesthetic of Layla Ali's gouache-and-ink drawings present an ambiguous
place where civilization and psychology meet. Psycho-political
situations are suggested, but rarely acted out, by figures dressed in
costumes derived from superhero wear and sports gear, garb reminiscent
of outfits worn by the KKK, the Pope, and Coptic priests. Who are they?
What are they doing? Their gender neutralized by unisex costumes, their
race neutralized by green-colored skin, Ali has created a tight,
contained, strangely compelling hand-drawn world in which questions are
unanswerable, narratives refuse to go forward, and yet everything is
eerily perfect.
Layla Ali was born in 1968 in Buffalo, New York. Her work has been exhibited at the ICA Boston, MassMOCA, the Studio Museum, Harlem, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago.

Can't help but feel left out of the big secret when looking at these images. They suggest so much, but what exactly they say can only be left to the artist.
