Massinissa Selmani
Born in 1980 in Algiers. Lives and works in Tours.

Selmani’s world adapts itself wonderfully to printmaking techniques. Drawing is a fundamental aspect of Selmani's practice. He creates enigmatic, ambiguous scenes by modifying, recycling and recomposing images inspired by newspaper clippings of political and social events, provoking absurd juxtapositions that can be both humorous and gravely serious. Despite its apparent simplicity, his lithographs are a complex work. The printmaking process enabled the artist to combine various techniques such as collage, photocopy, and photography, including that of a clear plastic protractor that evokes a hillside in our last one, When. Any.
