About the artist

Yahya Al sheikh — Wool, 100 × 140 cm (representative image)
Yahya Al sheikh

Iraq, b. 1945

Yahya Al Sheikh (يحيى الشيخ), born in Baghdad, Iraq in 1945, is a prominent Iraqi artist recognized for his contributions to contemporary Arab art. Al Sheikh’s practice spans painting, sculpture, and installation, often reflecting on themes of memory, displacement, and the complexities of identity shaped by his experiences in Iraq and the diaspora. His visual language is characterized by expressive abstraction, frequently incorporating calligraphic elements and symbolic references to Iraqi heritage.

Al Sheikh’s work has been exhibited in significant institutional settings, including the Iraqi Pavilion at the Venice Biennale and the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, underscoring his international stature. He has also participated in major group exhibitions at the Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha and the Sharjah Art Museum, further cementing his reputation within the Middle Eastern art scene. His pieces have appeared at major auction houses such as Christie’s and Bonhams, where they have attracted interest from collectors of modern Arab art, reflecting his enduring influence and market presence.

Throughout his career, Yahya Al Sheikh has remained deeply engaged with the evolving narrative of Iraqi art, both as a practitioner and as an advocate for cultural preservation. His work continues to resonate with audiences worldwide, bridging the personal and the collective through a distinctively modern yet rooted aesthetic.
