Biography
Chourouk Hriech's compositions combine architectural and landscape elements with plant and animal motifs in graphic narratives inspired by the history of places old and new, real and imaginary. Working in black and white, Chourouk Hriech draws what she calls her "landscape stuff", whether it relates to urban areas or vegetation. With precise lines in Indian ink or gouache, she traces the history of "symbolic cities", using multiple cross-sections, effects of scale and perspective. Whether on paper, on walls or on objects, her works create a hybrid universe where forms, cultures and eras merge, blend or coexist.
