Sultan bin Fahad

Desert Kite

Bin Fahad considers art as a journey between intangible memories and tangible cultures. Throughout his abstract paintings, sculptures, and installations, Bin Fahad’s central theme remains spirituality and the material culture of Mecca in his native Saudi Arabia. In his work, he reinterprets histories, stories, and narratives with the use of material culture. The central themes of his practice revolve around repetition, sound, and movement, using symbols that derive from Islam. 

Working today from Los Angeles, Bin Fahad has exhibited in solo and group shows in Saudi Arabia, the Arab World, Asia, and Europe (most recently in Forever Is Now, Art D’Égypte and the Diriyah Biennale, 2021). Sultan bin Fahad's work is in the collections of the Palestine Museum, Ithra, and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi.
