Taher Jaoui Tunisian, b. 1978

Overview
Taher Jaoui’s dense abstract canvases combine an array of artistic influences, from the bubbled contours of cartoons and roughshod linework of graffiti to the all-over compositions of Abstract Expressionism and spare forms of Cubism. Jaoui’s compositions are cluttered with circles, boxes, bubbles, and thick color fields in hues ranging from tonal schemas of neutrals and blues to rainbow-like chromatic blends. Jaoui intuitively creates his layered paintings, comparing his compositional process to that of dancing with a partner. He often utilizes a mix of materials like oil, enamel, spray paint, and charcoal, their competing textures heightening the theatricality of his canvases. Jaoui has exhibited in New York, Berlin, Hong Kong, Dubai, Johannesburg, Tunis, Miami, Beirut, and Seoul, among others.
