Working with a range of materials from metal wire, beading and textile, Abdul&#8217;s\u00a0adept knowledge of form and construction allows him to create sculptures that are simultaneously lively and methodical.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Taking inspiration from celebratory occasions such as discos, dancing, and Christmas time, Abdul&#8217;s choice of shiny surfaces and vivid colours reflect his interest in these joyous environments.<\/p>\n<\/div><!--close .artist-intro-->\n<div id='td-gallery-1' class='flickity galleryid-8882'><div class=\"slides\"><figure class=\"gallery-item\">\n\t\t
