Chourouk Hriech is a young artist who was born in Bourg en Bresse, France and is of Moroccan decent. She has never totally settled and lives a nomadic life-style dividing her time between Morocco, France and wherever her travels take her.
Hriech's drawings reflect this confluence of inspirations and experiences, also incorporating the mythological and imaginary.
In this series the lines symbolize a beautiful travel, full of beasts and adventures, where the bodies are rewrote in the landscapes.
In the # 2 an elephant meets an armed girl without her body. The architectures become part of the savannah in a mimetic way and the eye can't anymore distinguish between the modernism and archaism.
A warrior girl on a ship in the #3, who is cruising in the sea of life, bringing with herself pieces of her past.
Hriech plays with her pen in a self-styled black and white geometrical zone between cultures, dreams and geographies taken for example from the Morocco mountains or the French building blocks depicted on the # 4 drawing.
She will exhibit her works in "Printemps de Septembre" Festival of contemporary images in Toulouse, September 2009; in
" Biennale de Marrakech" in November 2009 and in "Project Room" at the CRAC of Sète.
