Shezad Dawood was trained at Central St Martin’s and the Royal College of Art before undertaking a PhD at Leeds Metropolitan University. He works across film, painting and sculpture to juxtapose discrete systems of image, language, site and multiple narratives, using the editing process as a method to explore meanings and forms between film and painting. Dawood’s work has been exhibited internationally, including the Rubin Museum of Art, New York; Palazzina Canonica and Fortuny Factory Venice, Italy; the Si Shang Art Museum, Beijing; Mori Art Museum, Tokyo; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Taipei Biennial, Taiwan; Marrakech Biennial, Morocco; MACBA; Tate Britain, London; and the 53rd Venice Biennale, Italy (2009), among others.
