Born in Aleppo, Syrian artist Zahed Taj-Eddin studied chemistry, fine arts, and ceramics in London and in 2006 he received his Master’s degree in Artifact Studies from the Institute of Archaeology at University College London. He is currently working on his PhD in which he aims to explore the archaeological, ethnographical and practical evidence of an early vitreous material, namely Egyptian faience at the school of Media , Arts and Design at Westminster University.
With a special interest in history and ancient arts, Taj-Eddin practice is influenced by ancient artifacts, archaeology and Mythology. He works intuitively with clay, creating finely balanced ceramic figures, which he finishes with oxides and glazes, creating textures that are weathered and earthy in tone. Zahed has organised and participated in many solo and group exhibitions. His work has been exhibited widely in the UK and abroad.
