About the work

Two palette-shaped panels teem with colourful figures, animals, and architectural fragments set against a deep blue nocturnal background, with a crescent moon and a circular vignette of embracing figures crowning the composition. The painting bursts with narrative energy, layering dozens of scenes in an expressive, almost tapestry-like arrangement.

Ali Al Zenaide

Tunisia, b. 1950

Ali Al Zenaide (علي الزنايدي), born in 1950 in Tunisia, is a prominent contemporary artist known for his vibrant and expressive works that often explore themes rooted in Tunisian culture and daily life. Working primarily in painting, Al Zenaide’s style is characterized by bold color palettes and dynamic compositions, reflecting both modernist influences and a deep engagement with local traditions. His oeuvre frequently incorporates elements of abstraction and figuration, creating a visual dialogue between heritage and innovation.

Al Zenaide has exhibited widely in Tunisia and internationally, with notable institutional exhibitions at the National Museum of Modern Art in Tunis and participation in group shows across Europe and the Middle East. His works have garnered attention in the secondary market, with appearances at major auction houses such as Sotheby’s and Christie’s, where his paintings have achieved strong results, underscoring his significance within the North African art scene. Throughout his career, Al Zenaide has contributed to the visibility of Tunisian contemporary art, both through his creative practice and his involvement in cultural initiatives within his home country. He continues to live and work in Tunisia, maintaining an active presence in the regional and international art world.

Acrylic

A fast-drying, water-based paint developed in the twentieth century. Versatile and vivid, it can mimic oil or watercolor and suits bold, flat color — a favourite of many contemporary artists across the region.

Expressionism

Art that prioritizes emotion and inner experience over realistic depiction, using distortion, bold color, and energetic mark-making. In the region it gave modern artists a language for memory, displacement, and identity.
