| Synopsis: | Portrait of the artist Faisal Abdu'allah and his installation 'Reservoir of Gods' for the Chiltern Sculpture Park. His work challenges stereotypical images of black masculinity and the boundaries between black culture and traditional Western art. The artist draws inspiration from his home, Harlesden in North West London, and aims to transcend what the people of the Harlesden black community embody: he perceives them as 'Gods in their own way'. | |
