NAME
Adel Abdessemed
Across a wide range of media, Abdessemed transforms well-known materials and imagery into charged artistic declarations. The artist pulls freely from myriad sources—personal, historical, social, and political—to create a visual language that is simultaneously rich and economical, sensitive and controversial, radical and mundane. In 'Le vase abominable', cultural references become inseparable from themes of war, violence, and spectatorship.
