Taban specializes in hyperrealism, a genre of art that seeks to create paintings, drawings, and sculptures that resemble high-resolution photographs.

This style emerged in the late 20th century, evolving from photorealism and characterized by meticulous attention to detail, often capturing subjects with an extraordinary level of realism.

Using mainly charcoal and graphite on paper, Taban’s thought-provoking drawings – including one of President Kiir and First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar seated and playing a chest game have been met with admirations.

In his latest work, he has drawn South Sudanese Reggae-dancehall artist and music producer Dynamiq dressed in a short-sleeve shirt with horizontal strips of tan and indigo colors in yellow background.

“I am deeply honored and moved by the incredible painting you created of me. Your artistic talent is truly remarkable, and the level of detail and passion in your work speaks volumes about your dedication to your craft,” said the singer.
