Artist: Zakriya Rabani | Location: Tallahassee, FL
Tallahassee, FL
Zakriya Rabani is a first generation human. Given a different last name than both of his parents he has grown as a Southwest Floridian with a misunderstanding of who he is. His influences consist of the relentless repetitive nature of the blue-green crashing waves, the push for strategic explosions of energy in the world of sport and competition, as well as an obsession of contending with present-day educational/institutional structures; whose systems have deeply effected his process for thinking. Rabani challenges the perception of structures, systems, patterns of man by using his own absurd experiences that fuel his artistic practice. Throughout his life as a student, athlete, artist, teacher and coach, he has matured an obsession to want to help others, (as well as himself) and harness what he sees as potential, striving to shed light on the unseen aptitude of people through the use of a formalist aesthetic.
