As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, LAAA's mission is to provide opportunities, resources, services, and exhibition venues for Los Angeles artists, with an emphasis on emerging talent. Otis Kwame Kye Quaicoe's (b.1988, Accra, Ghana; based in Portland, OR) figuration is built upon a palette where color becomes its own language of transformation, be it social, political or personal. His are images of empowerment and redemption, sophistication and humility, curiosity and quietude. Each figure becomes a symbol of the reclamation of cultural dignity, embracing the idea of origin and personal narrative as it relates to gender and race dynamics.
