Tarik : The Face of a Modern Diaspora - John Ruskin Prize charcoal triptych 210cm x 450cm
Tarik : The Face of a Modern Diaspora Part I - charcoal triptych Winner of the Royal Portrait Society inaugural Drawing Prize 2025
Tarik, part III of triptych, the face barely visible beneath a layer of burnt wood, embers and pieces of clothing
The final part of the triptych peers out through layers of burnt wood, embers and charcoal dust - held in a meaningless experience defined by the counting down of days
Tarik’s journey is plotted across each triptych with map pins and red thread tying the 3 drawings together - a journey of hope and resilience made in a desperate attempt to reach the shores of Europe
