Maha Malluh (b.1959) lives and works between Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and London, UK.
Maha Malluh’s work is influenced by her spiritual connection to the historic region of Najd, Saudi Arabia, with its distinctive architecture, strong religious and cultural heritage and colourful patterned textiles In recent year, Malluh has turned to mixed media installations, using found objects that are understood as symbolic of a collective, communal identity; these materials include massive chinco dishes, cassette tapes of religious lectures, discarded oil barrels and metal doors typical of the region. Malluh’s work has been exhibited in solo and group shows including at the Louvre Abu Dhabi (2017), Centre Pompidou, Paris (2016) and the British Museum, London (2012), among other institutions.
