This work was produced as part of the research process for what became ‘Tailor', ’Striker', ‘Singer', ‘Dandy', a series of five painted portraits of black men that developed out of Himid’s encounter with the West African textiles held in the Manchester Art Gallery’s extensive collection of historical fashion and clothing.

Lubaina Himid, whose mother was a textile designer, has been fascinated by patterns in garments since childhood. Patterns have populated her work since the 1980s, enlivening the visual surface and weaving of disparate threads—cultural, geographical, historical. Himid explains, ‘I love the language of pattern, its immense potential for movement, illusion, colour experiments and subliminal political messaging.'

In developing the life-size portraits of Tailor, Striker, Singer, Dandy, Himid produced a body of drawings that interpret and re-contextualise the textiles found within Manchester's Art Gallery. Colour, shape, and repetition are taken as devices embedded in clothing that are mobile and malleable, shifting in meaning across different contexts. In light of this, Himid's drawings re-embed historical textile samples and clothing designs into the re-imagined male figure, animating the multi-directional and cross-historical flow of patterns in self-fashioning and identity.

Lubaina Himid was the winner of the Turner Prize in 2017.
