Bader Klidi is a multidisciplinary artist whose creative journey began with drawing at a young age. Since 2012, he has actively exhibited his work, which spans a wide array of movements and modes of expression. His practice encompasses painting, sculpture, music, and digital art. Although initially trained in design, Bader has consistently embraced artistic experimentation, leading him to develop multidisciplinary projects. These endeavors notably flourished during his second artist residency in Rades in 2022, building on the momentum of his initial residency in New York in 2015.

Bader’s work has been featured in numerous group exhibitions. He held his first solo show in 2018 at the “Fondation de la Maison de Tunisie” in Paris, followed by a ceramic sculpture exhibition at “Khazafiyet Gallery” in 2024. He has also presented a solo exhibition at “Central Gallery” as part of their ‘Atelier Central’ program.

The creations in his projects initiate a process that transcends the opposition between interior and exterior, between scientific and artistic. Sometimes tinged with medical and botanical references, they frequently oscillate between spirituality and material awareness, thus offering a deeply enlightening visual experience.
