Lives and works New South Wales.

Abdul Abdullah is an Australian multi-disciplinary artist. As a self-described 'outsider amongst outsiders' with a post 9/11 mindset, his practice is primarily concerned with the experience of the 'other'. Abdullah's projects have engaged with different marginalized minority groups and he is particularly interested in the disjuncture between perception/projection of identity and the reality of lived experience. Identifying as a Muslim and having both Malay/Indonesian and convict/settler Australian heritage, Abdullah occupies a precarious space in the political discourse that puts him at odds with popular definitions. He sees himself as an artist working in the peripheries of a peripheral city, in a peripheral country, orbiting a world on the brink.

Abdul Abdullah is represented at MOORE CONTEMPORARY in association with Yavuz Gallery.
