Muhannad Shono. Works [2014–2024]

This comprehensive monograph offers a critical overview of Saudi artist Muhannad Shono’s oeuvre to date. The publication positions him as one of Saudi Arabia’s most original and daring artistic voices. It sheds light on his unique visual language and contextualizes his work at this particular transformative juncture in the Kingdom and the contemporary art world at large. A storyteller at heart, Shono’s main drivers in his artistic practice—such as his usage of the line, the void, and natural materials to create speculative and generative narratives—are explored in-depth in this publication. This book aims to introduce the artist’s ground-breaking work to a wide international audience and invite them into the complex and evocative world of his imagination.
