Over the course of the 1980s and 1990s, Abdelké created a series of artworks that featured engravings on copper and zinc as well as drawings with pastel, in which characters were portrayed with a sardonic twist.

What Abdelké offers to the audiences at this stage of his production is the outcome of a career path, during which he had been able to accumulate experience, wit, and expertise. This outcome allures the spectator who has followed his artistic path as this latest one is a cut out with the past one.

In order for a bone fragment, a dish or an empty sardine can to do what a king and his horse or a woman and her possessions usually did, the artist is required to exert exceptional efforts and to display definite skills. Not only does ABDELKÉ succeed in this. In fact, he bestows charming beauty on such silly things and sets the ground for the viewer to see before their eyes the changing destinies as well as granting them the freedom to see the margin more fascinating than the content.
