Faisal Abdu'allah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Faisal Abdu'allah (born 1969 in London) is a British artist and barber.[1]
He teaches at the University of East London (UEL), formerly North East London Polytechnic.
His work primarily evolves around photography, screen print and installations. After having graduated in Fine Arts at the Royal College of Art in London, the artist chose to work and live in the capital, making a living with his own barbershop, and has since taken part in several solo and group exhibitions across the country.
Abdu'allah's work draws from his personal experiences and that of his friends and other members of the British African-Caribbean community. He is a member of the Association of Black Photographers.[2] Central to the development of his art practice was his conversion to the Islamic faith in 1991.
