Dahlia Elsayed (born 1969) is a New York-based painter, writer, and teaching artist whose work explores the relationships between language and landscape. Her work has won awards and been shown at galleries and art institutions internationally.

Early Life and education

Born in New York City, Elsayed grew up in New Jersey. She graduated magna cum laude from Barnard College with a BA degree in English in 1992. In 1994, she received her M.F.A. from Columbia University School of the Arts.[1][2] Elsayed's mother is Armenian and her father is Egyptian. For three generations, her family had to move from continent to continent due to political and religious persecution.[3]

Career

Elsayed uses the process of writing and image-making to create visual narratives through installation and painting.[3] She draws inspiration from conceptual art, comics, cartography and landscape painting.[4] In her work, Elsayed often overlaps maps from the past and the present with people and events, serving as records of internal and external geographies. Her interest in mapping stems from her family's history of migration.[4] "Writing and painting are close processes for me and language is central to my work, both as formal element and subject matter. For over a decade, I have been making text and image based work that synthesizes an internal and external experience of place, connecting the ephemeral to the concrete." – Dahlia Elsayed[5] Dalia Elsayed's psychological maps on paper read like ironic, self-deprecating versions of 19th-century phrenology busts.[6]

Elsayed connects the psychological with the topographical. Overlapping symbols of flags, signs, borders, geologic forms with metaphors, lists, and idioms. In her work, images, locations, and language negotiate and continuously reshape each other.[5]

Exhibitions and awards

Elsayed's art has been exhibited at galleries and art institutions internationally and throughout the United States, these include Hunterdon Museum of Art, The New Jersey City Museum, Montclair Art Museum, Morris Museum, The Newark Museum, New Jersey State Museum, The Zimmerli Museum, Johnson & Johnson Corporation, among others. Elsayed has received awards from the Joan Mitchell Foundation, the Edward Albee Foundation,Visual Studies Workshop, Women's Studio Workshop, Headlands Center for the Arts, and The NJ State Council on the Arts.[7] She completed a residency at The Center for Book Arts, NYC, in 2014.
