Abdul-Rahman Abdullah was born in Port Kembla, NSW in 1977 and his family moved to Perth was he was very young. He studied at the Victorian College for the Arts (2010) and attained his Bachelor of Art (Fine Art) from the Curtin University in 2012.

His work, which explores definitions of identity and belonging, emerges from his Muslim heritage that is both seventh-generation Australian and Malay. Within these cultural parameters he explores a personal engagement with the migrant experience of his mother, the ongoing implications of his Australian father’s early conversion to Islam and “the mutable understanding of childhood values in the present tense.”
