Inès Andouche

1958, Belgium

For the First ten years of her life she lived with her parents in Africa, principally in Congo. In 1988 she joined the Hemptinne Centre’s creative studio.
Inès draws with great intensity. Her body is involved in the search for composition, color and expression undertaken for each work.
With strong gestures, she tackles pictures in magazines, taking them over and giving them a new life. This apparently simple mental transfer dignifies the insignificant, the ordinary or even the ignored.
Inès reveals things with tension in her drawing and reassurance in her coloring. Her universe probably conveys some memories of the culture of her childhood, today conducted by a strong artistic personality.
