Hussain Alismail (b. 1988, Alahsa, Saudi Arabia) is a visual artist whose practice explores the intersections of people, place, memory, movement, and cultural identity. Through drawing, installation, and research-driven approaches, he examines how social interaction, cultural exchange, and mobility shape individual and collective narratives.

Alismail has presented solo exhibitions and participated in residencies, grants, and collaborative projects across Saudi Arabia and internationally, including the Misk Art Grant and the Artist Residency Grant at the Al Qasimi Foundation. His projects often emerge from field research, interviews, and sustained engagement with local communities, translating everyday experiences into visual and spatial forms. His work engages with communities, vernacular culture, craft traditions, and overlooked forms of knowledge, using drawing as a tool for research, documentation, and interpretation.

His recent work investigates the relationships between craft, labor, and cultural heritage, examining how traditional practices evolve in response to social, economic, and technological change.

He holds a background in fine arts and design, with a focus on drawing and painting, having studied at OCAD University in Toronto, Flinders University in Adelaide, and RMIT University in Melbourne.
