Rachid Koraichi (Algeria, B. 1947)
Notes : Rachid Koraichi's work is a play on words, an enchanting story of undecipherable meaning. The artist invents calligraphic texts with Arabic characters, Chinese-style ideograms and talismanic signs and sometimes embroidering them in gold on silk banners, sometimes inscribing them on to ceramic or cutting them out of steel, to create a new universal language.
