"Through photography, Fani-Kayode negotiated his outsider status, balancing his family heritage alongside his own queer sexuality and exposure to underground subcultures."
"Fani-Kayode: On three counts, I am an outsider: in matters of sexuality; in terms of geographical and cultural dislocation; and in the sense of not having become the sort of respectably married professional my parents might have hoped for."
"This photograph reveals details of the artist's Brixton studio. The image is not believed to have been printed during Fani-Kayode's lifetime and was uncovered through research by the Autograph gallery."
"His staged and crafted portraits playfully beckon the viewer to embrace new possibilities of the self, showcasing radical visions of intimacy, desire and pain."
