Manu Zed started painting in 1996. He paints using an original technique based on masking tape, scalpel blades and aerosol cans, similar to that of stencils. "I have always been inspired by primitive art, pop art and street art. I am attracted by all forms of thinking networks such as rhizomes, synaptic connections as well as those invented by man such as plans, maps, interlacings and electronic circuits."
