Saudi Arabia

The caricaturist Talal Fahd Al Shashaa was born in the city of Haíil in Saudi Arabia in 1977.

He held his first exhibition in Haíil in 1997, displaying social and political caricatures which largely dealt with the Palestinian issue, which has occupied a prominent place in his work and thoughts.

In 1998, he held his second exhibition, in collaboration with the Taai Sports Club, which was inaugurated by the then deputy-governor of the area. He has also participated in many other art exhibitions for sports and literature clubs.

In 2005, he worked as a caricaturist for the ìAl Iktissadiyaî Saudi newspaper, before becoming editor for the weekly cartoon page at the newspaper, to which he continued to contribute, alongside other artists.

He then became editor of the ìVoice of the Peopleî daily page, until the end of 2008, when he resigned because the newspaper would not let him return to caricature.

Shashaa has published, ìFrom Caricature: Practical, Theoretical and Applicable Study,î which features an introduction by Youssed El Kwelit, vice-editor in chief of ìAl Riyadhî newspaper. He also published a book of caricatures, ìBlack and White,î in 1997, the publication of which coincided with the opening of his first personal exhibition.

Talal Fahd Al Shashaa is currently a caricaturist for the ìAl Jazeeraî newspaper, where he continues to voice his opinions about the Gulf.
