Description

From Kingston, Jamaica, to London, England, 'The Making of a Masterpiece' recounts the remarkable, true story of Fowokan George Kelly-a contemporary creative artist, musician and visionary who defied the odds.

Arriving in the UK as a boy in 1957, Fowokan faced the harsh realities of racism and limited opportunities. Yet, his relentless determination led him from a career in music to a profound calling in the arts. He forged his own path - rooted in the traditions of pre-colonial Africa, including Ancient Egypt, becoming a celebrated artist and cultural icon.

This inspiring book follows his journey of self-discovery, resilience and creativity, revealing how he turned adversity into art, challenged the status quo, and became one of the leading figures in Black British art.

A story of passion, perseverance, and the power of heritage, 'The Making of a Masterpiece', is a must-read for lovers of art, culture, and history.
