Titled "The Voices of Rivers, Crossing the Water," the 17th edition of the Lyon Biennale invites artists to evoke, question, and explore the relationships that form and dissolve between beings and their environment.
Combining architectural and landscape elements, as well as botanical and animal motifs, Chourouk Hriech's compositions create graphic narratives inspired by the history of ancient, recent, real, or imaginary places. The artist draws in black and white what she calls her "landscape practice," whether urban or botanical. With precise strokes in Chinese ink or gouache, she retraces the history of "symbolic cities," employing various cuts, scale games, and perspectives. Expanding across paper, walls, or objects, her works compose a hybrid universe made up of intersections, blends, and coexistences of forms, cultures, and eras.
