Timeline
"Bluerooming portrays the two subjects that I am inextricably a part of, jazz and my city. Though figures depicted in this polyptych are not portraits in the true sense of the word, they are inspired by musicians past and present who have performed at the Blue Room from its beginning in the 1930s to the present."
Lonnie Powell (born 1941 in Kansas City, Missouri) is a multimedia painter and community organizer.
Powell's paintings and drawings are housed in the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art's permanent collection, the Arrowhead Arts Collection, and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.
His paintings depict portraits of African American men and women.
His father encouraged him to go to trade school, but after graduating from Central High School in Kansas City, Powell attended Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Missouri, where he graduated in 1966.
Powell went on to teach in Kansas City.
In 2001, Powell founded The Light in the Other Room, a collaborative of African American artists.
Lonnie Powell grew up in Kansas City, Missouri.
Music was an early influence, he recalls, "growing up in Kansas City Missouri, music wafted through the whole segregated community in the forties and fifties in its churches, night clubs, schools and a cappella groups beneath the street lights."

The Light in the Other Room has worked with the Greater Kansas City Links, the Jackson County Links, Hatebusters Inc., the Epsten Gallery, the Sister City Association of Kansas City, Missouri, Central Missouri State University, William Jewell College, Vaughn Cultural Center, and Portfolio Gallery and Education Center of St. Louis, Missouri.
The collaborative has also participated in the Artists for Life Project, funded by Rocket Grants to create "compelling and provocative artwork that will encourage the community to take personal responsibility in addressing handgun violence."
Looking Him Back is a painting based on Powell's memories of watching a Kansas City Monarchs game.
"What I tried to do with the piece was to take all of those images that I can remember and put them into one piece. The pitcher is actually a conglomerate of all the pitchers that pitched so well in those days."
Powell states that "the piece had to portray the dignity of a people forced to live through a shameful time in our history."
Looking Him Back went on tour in the exhibit Shades of Greatness by the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.
