About the painting
A tower, a minaret, a lighthouse? Imed Ben Tahar does not say. The pale form stands between turquoise and deep blue, its windows barely more than dots, and in places the paint has been scraped back so that older layers show through. Memory is one of his themes, and here you can see how it works: the building stands there clearly, and as you look it changes. The picture was painted in 2026 and is among his most recent work.
Description
Small dark windows mark a pale building that stands among turquoise, emerald and deep blue. In places the paint has been scraped back, and other colours show through beneath. At 140 × 90 cm it can carry an entire wall without taking over the room. It is the most recent work in the selection.
In the room
The painting hangs here at its real size, next to a 210 cm sofa and a person who is 175 cm tall.
