Layla Ku is a 24 year old multi-disciplinary creative born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. Working as a photographer, fine + abstract artist, and graphic designer, Ku has most recently gravitated towards maximalist digital renderings as a means of social commentary. Ku’s work speaks often to themes of consumption - monetary, sexual, sensory - and the inescapable nature of these beasts in modern media. Employing saturated color palettes, nostalgic symbolisms and biting text, Ku invites viewers to come for the compositions - and stay for the medley of messaging dispersed throughout each landscape.
