   Many years spent working with metals, woods and plastics allowed him to explore the seductive properties of materials.
Extensive travel and residence in India, Africa, and Central and South América have contributed to his central defintion of the vital bond between man and the earth.

   In 1986 he joined a group in Paris dedicated to theory and pratice in the plastic arts.
   Since 1991, Jacques Selle has exhibited in Paris, Normandy, Savoy and Geneva.
Among his themes have been : metamorphoses, earths from others places, the lights and colours of the Chilean island of Chiloe, seascapes, blue spaces, the Gulf of the St. Lawrence river and Japanese compositions.
