The ART of Storytelling | Alann J. Boatright | TEDxWestshore
Join artist Alann J. as he takes you through the story of his painting "Not The First" and invites you to look closer at the details and history involved in his art, as well as challenging you to look beyond what you think you see. Alann J, the son of a General Motors assembly line worker, grew up in the shadow of
the smoke stacks of the gas tank assembly plant in Flint, Michigan. Much of the
industrial influence of his childhood is still visible today in his whimsical paintings
he pulls from the corners of his mind. Brightly colored oil paints on wood panel,
infused with found and harvested objects, draw viewers in, and the stories behind
the paintings keep them there.
Like some sort of mind bending magic trick, stories of history, math, science, news,
and interesting facts lost to time are revealed and forever etched into your mind’s
eye as the painting takes on a whole new meaning right before your eyes.
People who collect his work or stop by his studio will tell you: “Alann is not only a
brilliantly gifted artist, he is also a very colorful story teller!” So take a good long
look at each piece of art he displays, note carefully every little detail, be careful not
to fall into purposely set “traps”, then ask Alann to tell you what is really going on.
You will be very surprised, but most of all you’ll be entertained. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
