Unity and Resilience Flow Through Taquen’s Gestural Compositions — Colossal
SHARE

Street artist Taquen is known for his large-scale minimalist compositions that adorn the sides of buildings, hospitals, and street barriers with messages of strength and unity. His work often features animals in motion, kinetic portraits, and expressive hands, all exuding a sense of momentum and movement.

Taquen’s art practice takes him to different parts of the world to create murals that inspire and connect communities. Recently, he participated in The Jaunt residency program, traveling from Madrid to Africa to take part in the Sahara Marathon. This international event aims to show solidarity with the Sahrawi people, who have been affected by the Western Sahara Conflict and a humanitarian crisis for decades.

The conflict in the Western Sahara region dates back to the 1970s, when Spain relinquished its colonial rule, leading to displacement and the establishment of refugee camps in Algeria. Despite the ongoing challenges faced by the Sahrawi people, the Sahara Marathon continues to highlight their resilience and strength.

During his time in Tindouf, Taquen created a silkscreen print inspired by the young Sahrawi women who play a significant role in the desert’s society. The print features two expressive hands and Arabic text that reflects the phrase “the desert in the desert,” a symbolic and geographical reference to the region.

In addition to the print, Taquen also conducted art workshops for children in the refugee camps, using drawing as a means of expression and communication. These workshops allowed him to connect with the children and gain insight into their hopes and aspirations for the future.

Currently, Taquen is in Sicily for the Graniti Murales residency and has a busy schedule ahead, including an art festival and a solo exhibition. You can follow his work on Instagram and learn more on his website.

Taquen’s impactful murals, inspired by his experiences in different parts of the world, serve as a reminder of the power of art to bring people together and spark conversations about important issues. Through his art, he continues to spread messages of resilience, unity, and hope in communities around the world.
