HARIS HIDAYAT ULLAH

Haris Hidayat Ullah is an illustrator and visual artist whose work moves between critical inquiry, cultural observation, and the logic of the absurd. His images often feel less like illustrations in service of an idea and more like quiet arguments—assembled from symbols, fragments, and contradictions drawn from everyday life.

Working across illustration, editorial art direction, and collaborative platforms, Haris has developed a practice attentive to how images circulate through culture: on airwaves, in libraries, across fashion editorials, and within public discourse. His engagements—ranging from workshops and exhibitions to music-driven collaborations—reflect an interest not only in making images, but in understanding how visual language shapes identity, belief, and memory.

Through his ongoing project, LWNY Studio, Haris turns his attention inward and outward at once, using his surroundings and personal history as raw material. The result is a body of work that resists easy categorization—rooted in place, shaped by experience, and marked by a persistent questioning of the self within larger cultural systems.
