Artist Information:
Faisal Abdu’Allah is the Chazen Family Distinguished Chair in Art at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His work has been exhibited internationally and continues to push boundaries across media, identity and discourse. At the heart of Family Ties is Abdu’Allah’s belief that family, whether rooted in bloodlines, chosen kinship or shared purpose, serves as both anchor and mirror. Through a series of multi-layered screen-printed portraits, constructed alter egos and large photo tapestries, the artist explores the passage of time, unpacked masculinity, mythology and racial perception.
