Contemporary Art
Artsetter is a new artistic community in the contemporary art world. At Artsetter.com, our mission is to give talented artists an online art gallery for the exposure they deserve, as well as to connect artists and art lovers. Furthermore, Artsetter is a place where those who are new to contemporary art can feel free to explore and begin to appreciate wide-ranging genres of fine art. An Artsetter art gallery is the ideal place to browse to begin collecting contemporary art online. Artsetter artists compose a diverse group of emerging international artists and embody a high level of quality, as each has been granted an art gallery by fellow members of Artsetter.com.
An art gallery at Artsetter works differently from other sites, because to ensure the high caliber of art displayed in each individual art gallery, artists go through a voting process before their art is showcased in an Artsetter online art gallery. For an art gallery on Artsetter, the contemporary art market is no longer isolated for the elite: members of Artsetter are the curators, and cast votes to select who receives next Artsetter art gallery. By offering a free art gallery to Artsetter artists, we believe that we can promote a fair vision of the contemporary art market: one that is based on talent and art lovers’ appreciation rather than through mere luck and connections.
We believe Artsetter will soon become a recognized and trusted entity in the contemporary art market –one that displays new and diverse talent on a daily basis, and one that helps to promote and contribute to what contemporary art is all about: constantly changing the landscape and renewing creative inspiration.

More than representing a particular imagery or denouncing a reality or condition(whether political, religious or aesthetic), what really drives Agenor Martí as an artist is the possibility of constructing a visual language. An adaptable prism that is able to reflect each and every world there is with perfect efficacy. A methodically engineered code for the representation of anything and everything. He thinks that a consummated style is the greatest legacy an artist can leave. And what is a style if not a system of aesthetic codes? I think the style is a paradox after all. It is contained within the artist as a seed from the very beginning and, at the same time, we try to reach it throughout all of our lives. We try to consummate that which is already in us. From this point of view and since he is more concerned in the development of the code, than in the message itself, he is fascinated with all cultures and all manifestations of folklore. Among other things, he believes there's a shared pulse behind all of them. He also feels attracted to a wide range of themes because, in the long run, the isolated creative processes and the messages are both trivial; the only thing that matters is the systematization of patterns of portrayal and its relation with the different worldviews (either collective or individual), from which those patterns gestate. Agenor is convinced that is the genuine origin of a truly global artistic language.
Started off as Abstract Expressionism and evolved into a style ripe with symbolism that tackles yesterday's and today's social issues, values and notions.
Né en 1976 à Menzel Temime (Tunisie), Wissem Ben Hassine se passionne pour la peinture et le dessin dès son enfance. Il sort diplômé de l’école supérieure des beaux arts de Tunis en 2001 puis enseigne l’art du dessin à l’école supérieure des arts et métiers à Kairouan (Tunisie). D’abord résident au centre des Arts Vivants de Rades (Tunisie) entre 2005 et 2006 puis à la Cité Internationale des Arts à Paris entre 2007 et 2008, il vit désormais à Boulogne Billancourt. Cet artiste plasticien a également exposé ses œuvres en Allemagne, en Espagne et aux Emirats - Arabes. « Après un passage par l’abstraction, il est actuellement dans une phase plus figurative avec un travail axé sur la figure et le corps. Il utilise exclusivement des encres de chine sur papier ou sur toile, parfois mélangées avec de l’acrylique, privilégiant le noir et le blanc. Ce parti pris confère à son travail une grande unité d’écriture. Regards hagards, corps morcelés,… Ouissem Ben Hassine est parti de l’observation des foules dans le métro pour poser son regard au-delà des apparences et apporter de la chair à son questionnement sur l’origine du monde. Lorsque même l’innocence déserte l’enfance, demeure la renaissance symbolisée ici par la fertilité, la naissance et ces femmes dépouillées de tout artifice » Texte de Brigitte Camus
