AYMAN YOSSRI DAYDBAN

Of particular interest to the artist are the tensions arising at the intersectional points of translation and interdependence, where questions of assimilation and divergent customs come to the fore. Yossri Daydban’s painting, photography, and printmaking explore issues of identity and alienation, often through combinations of cinematic images and text.

Selected recent exhibitions include “Feeling the Stones”, Diriyah Biennale, Riyadh, 2021; “Durational Portrait: A Brief Overview of Video Art in Saudi Arabia”, Athr, Jeddah, 2020; “Eyes East Bound”, Cairo Biennale, 2019; “Epicenter X: Contemporary Saudi Art”, Arab-American National Museum, Dearborn, MI, 2017; “Give Me the Light”, Athr, Jeddah, 2016 (solo); and “Common Grounds”, Sabrina Amrani, Madrid, 2014.
