Kuvajtski umetnik Mohammad Al-Hemd je diplomiral iz gradbeništva na Univerzi v Koloradu in iz grafičnega oblikovanja na Ameriški univerzi v Kuvajtu. Njegovo zanimanje za umetnost se je v celoti pokazalo na njegovi prvi samostojni razstavi z naslovom Odpustki: prerojeno, kjer je z instalacijo, performansom in vizualno režijo izpodbijal verske predstave. Njegovo delo izhaja iz konceptualne sfere in se transformira v elegantne iluzije, v katerih se loteva kontroverznih, a pritiskajočih aktualnih tem, ki prisilijo njegovo občinstvo k razmišljanju o sodobnih idejah. Še naprej premika meje svojega dela in razvija svojo umetniško prakso ter njen obseg.
Mohammad Al-Hemd is a Kuwaiti artist who earned a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Colorado and a BA in Graphic Design from the American University of Kuwait. Al-Hemd’s keen interest in art fully manifested in his first solo exhibition entitled Indulgences: Reborn, where he challenged religious notions through installation, performance and visual direction. His work stems from the conceptual, transforming into elegant illusions, where he tackles controversial yet pressing current themes compelling his audience to reflect on contemporary ideas. He continues to push the boundaries of his work, evolving his artistic practice and scope.
