FAHAMU PECOU RETURN OF THE KING
Fahamu Pecou’s facility with his method and materials is theatrical. The eye is caught and intrigued by an unfurling of incident: costume is put on and taken off; and roles are referenced and subverted. Some of Pecou’s cast adopt personae familiar from pop-culture cliché. Others inhabit the skins of more mysterious and subtle characters, who reach back into an African past. The ghosts of African deities float through these turbulent picture-scapes. This artist is telling us that being black is multi-layered, particularly when it comes to the various iterations of the black male. This is a unique opportunity to make a pact with the artist and experience a journey into something that hovers just beneath the surface of assumed experience.
@fahamupecou 'Return of the King' exhibition is now open at the gallery till 23 October! Follow our link in bio to book your visit.
