Boldly, she faces her past in large-format paintings—life-sized portraits, childhood locations, and memories.
For the first time, this exhibition also includes a person from Khorchid’s present. In Christophe, she portrays her life partner, showing how deeply art—beyond the exploration of her past—has become part of her life.
While the settings in her paintings are often reduced—situated between expressive brushwork, abstract color fields, and Art Nouveau-like ornamentation—the faces and skin of her subjects are rich in texture and complexity.
Layer by layer, the artist enters into an intense exchange with the people she portrays through brush and paint. The result is raw, almost scarred, but deeply intimate.
