Bio & Contact Information
Abdul Mazid is an American artist based in Los Angeles & New York City. 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.
