Shaikha Al Mazrou
- Born 1988 in Sharjah, UAE. Based in Dubai, UAE.
Shaikha Al Mazrou received her MFA in 2014 at the Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts, London where she was awarded the prestigious MFA Student Prize. Prior to that she studied at the College of Fine Arts and Design, University of Sharjah where she later was a Sculpture Lecturer. Currently she is an Assistant Professor at NYU Abu Dhabi. Al Mazrou’s sculptural experimentations and investigations are expressions of materiality—articulations of tension and the interplay between form and content as well as an intuitive, keenly felt understanding of materials and their physical properties. She combines and evolves ideas from contemporary artistic movements similarly preoccupied with formal and material elements, from color theory to geometric abstraction.
