Diana Al-Hadid
[edit]
Rough Draft for Peer Review
[edit]Biography
[edit]Early Life
[edit]Diana al-Hadid is a contemporary artist. She was born in Aleppo, Syria in 1981. When she was five, her family moved to Cleveland, Ohio where Al-Hadid grew up. She speaks both Arabic and English. Al-Hadid is a Muslim and female artist, which can present challenges in the culture of today. She uses her art and non-Western concepts to help bridge her Western life to her Middle Eastern upbringing. Al-Hadid grew up creating art with her grandmother and from a young age she was enamored with the relationship between space and perspective.
Education
[edit]Al-Hadid attended Glen Oak High School in Canton, Ohio. [1]

She then went on to study art at Kent State focussing on sculpture and art history. She also attended Virginia Commonwealth University and received an MFA in sculpture.[1] After attending VCU she went to the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture where she completed a residency.[1] After all her education she moved to New York where she still currently resides with her husband and son.
Works
[edit]Diana al-Hadid ties her Syrian heritage in with many of her works one in particular being The Gradual Approach of My Disintegration. In this work she pairs sandals with the Aleppo Citadel, which is a Muslim holy cite, to create a work that showcases the culture of Syria visually and briefly. Although many of her works have a tie and direct message linked to her Middle Eastern heritage, the materials she uses in her sculptures are a tie to her American upbringing. The materials she uses are easier to obtain in American culture than in the culture of the Middle East. Diana al-Hadid's works are poetic causing the viewers to stop and reflect on what it is she is trying to say through her work. It is hard to decipher whether her sculptures are being built up or torn down.
Sculpture
[edit]Diana al-Hadid creates visually stimulating sculptures with a variety of materials. Her sculptures are meticulously created with eccentric patterns and melded parts. Her sculptures show a potential to fall at any moment but are truly quite stable. Al-Hadid uses materials such as cardboard, plywood, plaster, and resin to create sculptures that appear to be breaking or even melting. These sculptures melt and break apart recognizable imagery into an aesthetic creation that energizes the space it is in. An example of this aesthetic creativity can be found in her sculpture Tomorrow's Superstitions. This piece takes an architectural structure and takes it apart placing the broken pieces onto areas that they would not normally appear. Her sculptures, though not truly moving, have a sense of movement about them that causes the viewer to want to view her work at every possible angle. Through her sculptures she focuses on the relationship between a person’s mind as well as their physical being. Many of her sculptures allows the audience to walk among the different parts of the sculpture. This ability presents a much richer viewing experience.

[edit]Exhibitions
[edit]Al-Hadid has been exhibited in various galleries and museums across the globe. She has been exhibited as both a solo artist and in group exhibitions. There are also several galleries and museums that have various pieces of Al-Hadid's in their permanent collection.[1]
Solo Exhibitions
[edit]Al-Hadid has an extensive list of solo exhibitions, and has been continually showing each year, often multiple times a year, since her first solo exhibition, which dated back to 2007, the same year she attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture.[1] She is still a solo exhibiting artist, and is scheduled to have a solo show in Nashville, beginning in May of 2019.[2]
The number and variation in the locations of her solo exhibitions has been a driving force in her popularity and global recognition. [1]

- Hi guys - now that I look at your list in the format of a bibliography, the Saatchi source is ok. Before, I thought you were citing their website, where they provide info on the artists they represent. A published catalog is a more robust source, and fine to use.
