SHADI AL-ATALLAH
About
Shadi Al-Atallah is a London based multidisciplinary artist. They create life-sized mixed-media paintings - distorted self-portraits that explore the intersections of mental health, queerness, and racial identity. They are mainly inspired by spiritual practices, family history and their childhood in Saudi Arabia. Their latest work uses absurdity and subtle humour to explore ‘healing’ as a concept and examine the relationships between mental health, the body and spiritual practices.
