Ayad Fadel

Iraq

Ayad Alkadhi, born in Baghdad, Iraq, in 1971, is a New York-based artist known for his paintings that explore the intersection of Near Eastern and Western cultures, politics, and religion. His work prominently features Arabic calligraphy and Middle Eastern motifs, reflecting his heritage and the complexities of cultural identity.

Alkadhi's notable series include "I am Baghdad" (2008–2015), addressing post-occupation Iraq and the emotional struggles of its people; "If Words Could Kill" (2012–2015), inspired by traditional art forms and examining the power of language; and "Umbilical" (2012), referencing the Arab Spring. His work has been exhibited at institutions such as the Honolulu Museum of Art, Nasher Museum of Art, University of Michigan Museum of Art, Nevada Museum of Art, Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Queens Museum of Art, Herbert Johnson Museum, Austrian Cultural Forum, Station Museum of Contemporary Art, and New York University's Bronfman Center.

After leaving Iraq following the first Gulf War, Alkadhi moved to the United States in 2000. He earned an MFA from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and currently resides and works in New York City.
