Sharri Alosaimi
About
Sharri Alosaimi is a contemporary artist, writer, and creative director, based in London. Born and raised in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Sharri received a BS in architecture at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (2022), and an MA in Contemporary Art Practice at the Royal College of Art (2024).
Their 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, writing, and mixed media.
Drawn from their personal experience and post-experience of trauma, Alosaimi’s works gravitate toward resituating the human face, with all of its unsettling expressions, as a vessel to theatrically express and explore the essence of childhood memories, unconscious mental processing of trauma, queerness, and identity, from an existentialist and disquietude standpoint.
