Kaïs Dhifi

Kaïs combines industrial aesthetics with elements of history, archaeology, and fantastical realism to create intriguing sculptures that question the perception between ancestral know-how and futuristic technology.

He cuts abstract forms from metal plates, then engraves symbols on overlapping layers, finally assembling his composition on structures designed using artisanal techniques.

 

Since City of Poets, his first solo exhibition, Kaïs's work has regularly been featured in publications on emerging Mediterranean artists. He has exhibited at the Ruttkowski;68 gallery in Paris and is included in international collections.


With his unique and demanding practice, Kaïs redefines the notion of visual narrative in contemporary sculpture.
