Artist Profil

Rashid Jogee is one of Zimbabwe’s few abstract painters. European modernism and the explosion of forms he encountered in Abstract Expressionism are among the formative influences on the style of this artist, who is of ethnic Indian origin. He describes himself as an ‘action painter’ who, in exhausting both the body (hatha) and the mind (raja) in painting, achieves a more perfect balance between them. His more recent paintings are distinguished by bold colours, often painted wet-on-wet, and of an astonishing lightness. Before turning to painting, Rashid Jogee was one of the few sculptors in Zimbabwe to produce abstract sculptures from porous sandstone.
