A Tale of Be(LIE)vers is produced in the inventive digital print on raw aluminium style which Masnoor has been developing since his celebrated 2014 solo Aviation. Since then he has gone on to rework and refine the medium, making it a signature style in his multi-disciplinary practice, as he achieves a nostalgic quality by printing images and photographs on a matte finished aluminium. Typically, the printing of images requires four base colours, but Masnoor cuts this down to three. By using the natural grey of the unpolished aluminium as a substitute for white, he tones down the intensity of his palette, while retaining the aluminium’s textural character. The resultant dream-like quality that A Tale of Be(LIE)vers is imbibed with not only compliments Masnoor’s melodic, philosophical character, but also the mythical characteristic of the nostalgic symbolism he employs
