Adel Abdessemed:
A French Artist
My post on contemporary art is about Adel Abdessemed, a French male artist.
A portrait of Adel Abdessemed
Adel Abdessemed was Born in 1971 in Constantine, Algeria and lives and works in Paris, France. His art focuses on the idea of globalization.He has many art photographs and sculptures in America and France. He works with video, animation, performance, and sculptural installations around the world. Over the last few years, he has been considered as one of the most promising artists with a world wide career. He also was known for the concept of "Performance Art".
Adel finished this model in 2003 in Paris. This kind of art influenced many artists to a new kind of art. Adel calls it the "French performance art." Adel is very well known as a random artists who always comes up with something out of the ordinary or things that wouldn't happen in everyday life. Now days more French artists are using Adel's concepts for their own art.

In 2006, Adel with the help of an animal trainer took multiple photographs in the streets of Paris of real wild animals like boars, a snake, and a lion shown above. Once these extravagant and unusual photos came out Adel instantly became one of the most popular French and American artist. He was a artist who changed a major part of American and French art.
