Multimedia artist, Fahamu Pecou explores contemporary notions of blackness through painting, photography, mixed media, video and performance.
The images are derived from a wide-ranging source material, taken from the iconography of hip hop, street fashion and research.
Pecou, is interested in investigating and questioning the stereotypes and assumptions that surround the representation of the black, male body.
Pecou’s facility with his method and materials is theatrical. The eye is caught and intrigued by an unfurling incident: costume is put on and taken off; and roles are referenced and subverted.
