Summary
Jasem Alsanea is a Kuwaiti artist and Artist in Residence at Sadu House with eight years of practice creating conceptually driven, hyper-surrealistic work that rediscovers lost oral histories and decensors collective Kuwaiti narratives through mythology, horror, and the haunting of lived experiences. Trained in sculpture at RISD, he blends traditional craft with VR, SPFX, silicone prosthetics, and performance, having assisted on fleshy, tactile installations in Manhattan. As an independent artist he pairs community-focused art activism with experimental technologies to stage immersive, culturally rooted interventions. His work is notable for transforming intimate folklore into unsettling visual myths that provoke dialogue about memory, identity, and cultural preservation.
