Sharri Alosaimi is a contemporary artist, writer, and creative director, based in London. Born and raised in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Sharri acquired a BS in architecture from KFUPM and currently is pursuing his MA in contemporary art practice at the Royal College of Art.
His art and design practice are intertwined, exploring how one's experience of trauma can influence, and reshape the perception of reality and oneself within that reimagined reality, through figurative painting, drawing, printing, performance, and mixed media.
Drawn from his personal experience and post-experience of trauma, he resituates the human face, with all of its unsettling expressions, as a vessel to theatrically express and explore his own childhood memories, unconscious mental processing of his trauma, queerness, and identity, from a nihilistic, sometimes existentialist point of view.
