The imagery of Pakistani-born artist A\u00efcha Khorchid resembles a journey through her life, visua\u00adli\u00adzing her search for belonging, identity, and ultimately herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Painted on large wooden panels, the works skill\u00adfully engage with the materia\u00adlity of their support and the varying opacity of the paint appli\u00adca\u00adtion. Through a powerful visual language, they explore experi\u00adences and impres\u00adsions from A\u00efcha Khorchid\u2019s post-migrant life in Normandy and Paris. Her almost life-size figures, presented frontally, meet the viewer\u2019s gaze and convey a strong emotional intensity. Surrounded by an often cool color palette, they suggest pain and loss. A\u00efcha Khorchid. The Sea Is Not Blue<\/em> is the artist\u2019s first insti\u00adtu\u00adtional solo exhibition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
