Faisal Abdu'Allah graduated from the Royal College of Art, his first solo show 'Censored' receiving wide acclaim and was quoted as 'one to watch' by art critic, Sarah Kent.

Abdu'Allah's work primarily evolved from the interface of photography, the printed image and lens-based installation. He constantly repositions values and ideologies pertaining to representation.

Abdu'Allah continues to broker disparate worlds through his practice best exemplified in 'The Garden of Eden' in 2003 with architect David Adjaye looking at privileged gaze and 'Gold Finger' in 2007 with the late Joey Pyle from the British Mafia over a three year period.

Abdu'Allah has participated in Sharjah, Torino and Tallinn Biennales and has been the recipient of the Decibel Artist Award in 2005 and the first prize at the Tallinn Print Triennial in 2007.

Abdu'Allah is currently in collaboration with Christian Boltanski on '14 years in between', due in 2010.

He is a senior lecturer in Fine Art at the University of East London. He lives and maintains a studio in London.
