Khaled Ben Slimane currently lives and works in Sousse, Tunisia.
His multi-disciplinary practice includes paintings on paper, canvas and wood as well as ceramic and bronze sculptures. A synthesis of East and West, his work invokes Sufism through graphic repetition of words and phrases in a distinctive style, which is partly inspired by the masters he once met or worked with such as Miro and Tapies.
Ben Slimane graduated from the Uscuela Massana of Barcelona in 1977 and Technological Institute of Art in Tunis in 1982. His works have been exhibited alongside works by maestros like Miro, Picasso and Artigas. His works are part of various private and public collections including the British Museum, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C., the Idemitsu Museum of Arts in Tokyo, the Benaki Museum in Athens, the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts in Amman, the Badisches landesmuseum in Karlsruhe and the Museu de Ceramica de Barcelona.
