\"\"Abdul Mazid<\/a> is an American artist based in Los Angeles, California. Working across a wide range of media, Mazid incorporates – sculpture, drawing, video, installation, and painting –to explore the underlying complexities of identity and intersectionality as determined by micro and macro economic systems.<\/p>\n

A first generation American of Syrian and Mexican decent, Mazid draws upon his own personal experiences growing up in a hybridized cultural environment. Using these intersectional experiences as a point of reference, he transforms materials and imagery to further investigate concepts surrounding socioeconomics, globalization, and the hybridization of identity.<\/p>\n

Mazid studied economics at the University California Santa Barbara (2003) before obtaining his MFA at Claremont Graduate University (2014). Mazid is represented by Shoshana Wayne Gallery in Los Angeles.<\/a><\/p>\n
