Sherihan Khalil (b. 1983, NYC) is multidisciplinary artist based in Dubai, UAE.
Working across photography and conceptual works, her practice is influenced by over a decade of work in education and consulting in Iraq and Afghanistan— regions often associated with conflict but brimming with stories of human resilience.
Through apprenticeship and self-organized learning, Sherihan reimagines and deconstructs traditional narratives within cultural and natural histories. Sherihan’s pieces have been collected worldwide, and are regularly exhibited across US and European markets.
Sherihan’s subjects are conceptualized through initial energetic lines and markings which aid the direction of her research and process. Final compositions are achieved by building upon the energetic base layer, adding color, texture, and context to the works as they emerge.
