Artist Profile
Raghad Al Ahmad
Saudi artist
Born in Jeddah in 1994, Raghad Al Ahmad works in digital collages and installations, merging media, design, and art idioms. Frequently drawing on the history of the Gulf and the Middle East, she collages together historical and contemporary iconographies, setting these against tropes drawn from design. These sources range from postmodernism Memphis and the modernist Bauhaus to classical Islamic architecture, and create atemporal, stylish depictions. Her work has been shown at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Thuwal; Hafez Gallery in Jeddah, the Medina Art Center; the Saudi Art Council’s Tasmeem Initiative in Jeddah; and Young Saudi Artists (YSA) in 2018 at Athr in Jeddah.
