Diana Al-Hadid was born in Aleppo, Syria in 1981, and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
Al-Hadid’s sculptures, hanging works, and works on paper are built up with layers of material and history.
Her rich, formal allusions cross cultures and disciplines, drawing inspiration, not only from the history of distance civilizations, but also from histories of the materials themselves.
Her work borrows from a variety of sources ranging from Old Master paintings to the innovative works of the Islamic Golden Age.
Described by Al-Hadid as “somewhere between fresco and tapestry,” her unique process is entirely additive.
Holes and gaps form not from puncture, but through controlled dripping, methodically reinforced such that the image dictates the structure.
These works have been made as hanging objects, architectural interventions, and most recently as outdoor installation.
