Taher's abstraction largely features depictions of imagined figures and happenings, which he translated into dynamic shapes and colours. Often music and literature served as inspiration and were interpreted into patterns of swirling shapes in gestural applications. The motion of writing Arabic calligraphy was central in his work too. Taher used a flat brush or a palette knife to move the diluted paint on his canvas, thereby achieving his signature swiping touch, as displayed here.
