Born in Tunisia in 1937, Nja Mahdaoui is one of the leading contemporary artists in the Arabic-speaking world and beyond. His work, inspired by Arabic calligraphy, focusses on the purely aesthetic dimension of letters and signs, creating highly rhythmic and abstract compositions of “graphemes” and “calligrams” devoid of any textual meaning. Nja Mahdaoui has often been described as “choreographer of letters”.
