Zaïdi Larbi | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

One feels in his work influences of Basquiat, Chaissac, and Dubuffet, some of the painters he discovered later since he had no artistic education at the beginning of his career. Today, it is the opposite situation, and he diligently visits galleries, exhibitions, and museums. Larbi's instinctive, joyful, and energetic painting is an ode to the drawings of children. It leaves no one indifferent. But the characters he depicts in thick black lines reflect a certain difficulty in being. Enclosed in frames they do not always master, its characters seek their own way in a sometimes hostile environment. Larbi's work is therefore deeply humanistic.
