Lounis Baouche

Lounis Baouche was, in 2017, the recipient of the Jury’s Favorite Young Painter Award at the Société Générale Algeria Awards. Through allegorical characters and an aesthetic influenced by comic books and cartoons, his work questions human social relationships and the power dynamics intertwined with them. According to the artist, his work often looks like a messy child’s room, with recurring motifs that invite the absurd.
