Abdu’Allah, an associate professor with the School of Education’s Art Department, is an internationally acclaimed artist who creates iconographic imagery of power, race, masculinity, violence, and faith to challenge the values and ideologies attached to those images.

Artimage interviewed Abdu’Allah in February 2018 to ask him about his exhibition, “The Duppy Conqueror & Other Works.”

Abdu’Allah tells Artimage that the art showcases his alter-ego named the Duppy Conqueror, who is a spirit that highlights social inequities.

“In the current climate, where truth and fiction converge, the alter-ego emerges as a political gadfly: an outsider leading the insurrection of the everyday people against the established authority,” Abdu’Allah told Artimage.

Artimage is a “digital image solution dedicated to sourcing and licensing exceptional modern and contemporary art.”

His exhibition, “The Duppy Conqueror & Other Works,” was on display at Autograph ABP in London through mid-April 2018.
