Taj Poscé, a Philadelphia native, is currently based in Baltimore, where he recently earned his MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art's LeRoy E. Hoffberger School of Painting. He holds a BFA from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University, which he completed in 2018, and he was a selected nominee for the Yale Norfolk Summer School of Art. During his undergraduate studies, Taj received a scholarship to study abroad at Temple University’s Rome campus, where he spent five months engaging in studio arts, including drawing, painting, and papermaking.
Over the years, he has developed a distinctive artistic practice that combines painting, collaging, and the use of pyrography, resulting in a unique body of work. This innovative approach has earned him recognition as an award-winning artist, including the Bertha Lear Painting Award, the Mural Arts Black Artist Grant and Fellowship, the LeRoy E. Hoffberger Fellowship, the Congressional Black Caucus Artist Award, and most recently the Creative Baltimore Fund Grant.
Taj's work has been featured in numerous group exhibitions at notable venues such as Vox Populi in Philadelphia, the Bishop Gallery in New York, the Eubie Blake Cultural Center in Baltimore, Sean Kelly in Los Angeles, and more. His solo exhibitions include shows at Rush Arts Philadelphia, the Black Rock Center for the Arts in Germantown, MD, and most recently, at the Dimin NYC in Tribeca, New York. Taj is now represented by DIMIN NYC
