Portrait of Nazir Tanbouli

London Summer 2012. It’s Jubilee year, Olympic year.
And in a forgotten corner of East London, in the shadow of the Olympic site, Egyptian artist Nazir Tanbouli is battling weather, vandalism and lack of funds, to create a massive mural installation throughout a semi-derelict housing estate.

One man, one brush. Taking Over the King’s Land follows Nazir through his self appointed task on the Kingsland estate. Can art counter the urban atmosphere of deprivation, blight and neglect?

Author Virginia Bloom on the film Image Matters:

On Image Matters

“The two women talking about shopping in the midst of war—there are so many layers of contemporary culture captured here simultaneously, such as a distracting investment in the surface, a solution to anxiety.”
