Judgments

“… Slimane Ould Mohand, which chooses to sometimes point out a Chagall Berbère and sometimes a Klee kabyle, and whose invention is always singular and delicate…”

Jean Daniel, To forget Algeria? , in " Nouvel Observateur " , n° 1580, Paris, February 16th, 1995 (p. 39).

“Sanding, mastiquant, regriffant its papers within a matierism as refined as masterly, which is accompanied sometimes by delicate reliefs, he never disavows his roots. All its works are magic spells of the East, tales of the thousand and one days.”

Roughcast Marc, Slimane Ould Mohand , in” the Gazette of the Hotel Drouot”, February 2nd, 1996.

“Its fabrics are mirrors where memories and imaginary mix on a partitioned bottom, a coloured space division (...). He devotes himself to a swarming account where are amoncellent explicit details returning to vacuums which are absences. Its matter has roughnesses which point out the frontages of the village (...). Mackled thickness of scratches, signs emerge from the characters, the potteries, the birds sometimes hardly silhouettes.”

Lydia Harambourg, Slimane Ould Mohand , in “the Gazette of the Hotel Drouot”, Paris, February 12th, 1999.

“… nothing less anecdotic than the images of Slimane. However real are the women who cross her fabric, if evocative of a world of impassioned decencies, usual tragedies, which is illustrated there is a system of signs, coloured suggestions (...) Painter and Kabyle, Slimane is not a “painter kabyle”. It is an artist who testifies for his people, as for much of others (...). "

Jean Lacouture in Slimane , Museums of Niort, 2001 (p. 8).

" In the mirror of the copper plate, it is sometimes the face of the anguish which is reflected. Slimane starts it, initially with blows of graver, then with the acid. And when it recovers the plate of an immaculate vellum sheet of Arches, and that it crushes it roller of its press, it is not a requiem only it extracts some, but an anthem with the vie."

Hamid Tibouchi in Slimane , Museums of Niort, 2001 (p. 10).

" Among a whole whole of younger painters, who integrate the evocation of the Berber C-W communication, are essential coloured, acute and tender fairyhoods of Slimane Ould-Mohand (1966) which, in granulous space, built, its paintings, interferes female faces, jugs and teapots, asses, cats and the birds, reduced to thinnest the idéogrammes."
