ABOUT : MOHAMMED ALI

The Art of Mohammed Ali has been taken across the globe and described as challenging the oft-heard term 'clash of civilisations.' With his unique urban-spiritual art, Mohammed has successfully managed to connect people of different communities through his art, with the themes of his artwork exploring the issues that face contemporary, multicultural societies.

Mohammed has been involved with graffiti-art from a young age after being inspired by the New York Graffiti-art movement, and began spray-painting in his early teenage years. He then continued to study Art & Design at university, and after graduating, he worked in the computer games industry as a designer. It was after his new-found passion and rediscovery of Islam, that he began to fuse his graffiti-art with the grace and eloquence of sacred and Islamic script and patterns. He describes his work as, 'taking the best of both worlds.'

Mohammed Ali's art is appreciated by people of all faith and cultures and he has exhibited his canvas-art as well as created his unique, public spiritual murals in the streets of major cities, such as New York, Chicago, Toronto, Melbourne and Dubai. He has delivered lectures and seminars at universities, ranging from Cambridge University to the University of Melbourne, Australia.

International media ranging from CNN to Aljazeera, have reported his work as a 'bridge of understanding'between faith communities and he has become a regular media figure, speaking about how his art transcends cultural and religious barriers.

Mohammed has recently been awarded a South Bank Show Award, an awards show recognising the best in British Art.
