n her artworks, she combines these striking moments with things that they evoke in her mind. For instance, you see inspiring quotes from someone going through a midlife crisis on white arches that Bachour saw in the building of the spiritual community EnlightenNext. In another work, you see a lizard searching for warmth on a modem. It reminds the artist of the way in which people search for companionship on the internet. This search for meaningfulness is a recurring theme in Bachour’s works.
Limurgse Beeldende Kunst Stipend
Bachour is the fifth recipient of the Limburg Beeldende Kunst Stipendium, a grant set up by the Province of Limburg in 2018, which aims to stimulate the work of artists from Limburg and bring it to the attention of a wider public. The grant comprises a scholarship, a solo presentation in The Studio at Bonnefanten and a six-month working period at the Jan van Eyck Academy, culminating in participation in the Open Studios.
