Faisal Abdu’Allah presents himself at HANGAR – Centro de Investigação Artística with five jacquard tapestries, timidly illuminated by filtered blue light. In fact, the intense electric blue is a constant in the room, also because it fills the background of three of the compositions, contrasting with the grey scale of the other two.

Available soon.
