Khairul Azmir Shoib atau lebih dikenali sebagai "Meme‟ dilahirkan pada tahun 1975 di Taiping, Perak. Beliau mendapat pendidikan Ijazah Sarjana Muda Seni Halus di Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam pada tahun 2000 dan Ijazah Sarjana (MA. Fine Art) pada tahun 2004. Meme amat dikenali dengan kemahiran menghasilkan penceritaan bergambar dan sentiasa berusaha mencipta siri puisi dalam bentuk visual yang merakam perbualan senyap di antara diri dan orang lain. Karya beliau merupakan karya yang aneh di dalam ruang khayalan dan mitos sendiri serta cuba menggambarkan secara visual apa yang bermain di benak fikirannya. Selain menyampaikan syarahan di beberapa universiti seluruh Malaysia, Meme juga aktif dalam mengambil bahagian dalam pelbagai pameran berkumpulan di institusi dan galeri di Malaysia, Singapura, dan Australia. Antara pameran solo beliau yang terdahulu adalah: Fairieality (2006), dan Post Gothic Dreams ( 2009 ).

Karya beliau mungkin boleh mengingatkan seseorang dengan pengalaman ketika berada di dalam rumah hantu ataupun taman tema yang menyeramkan dengan „mood‟ karakter aneh dan seram serta penggunaan elemen gothik dalam penyampaian karya. Walaupun secara keseluruhannya, karya beliau menampilkan pengisian dan peragaan yang sesak serta boleh dipersoalkan dari sudut estetiknya, usaha untuk merealisasikan karya dengan pelbagai bentuk kemahiran, imaginasi dan kreativiti seharusnya dipuji. Karya beliau jelas dibuat dengan mengambil kira unsur-unsur kebudayaan lain dan meraikan perbezaan ini melalui sebuah karya instalasi dan cerita yang diolah dengan begitu ghairah dan bersemangat. Perkara ini menonjolkan kemahiran dan kebijaksanaan artis dalam menggarap sebuah naratif berdasarkan elemen-elemen budaya lain dan menyampaikannya dalam bentuk yang baru. Hal ini sangat bertepatan untuk menggambarkan kamasukkan unsur-unsur budaya luar yang terjadi hasil pelbagai proses asimilasi, akulturasi, evolusi, difusi dan sebagainya terutamanya daripada pengaruh budaya popular yang menusup masuk melalui media massa.
