Works

With a diversity of approaches that constantly defy the notion of signature, Boris Achour takes his inspiration from phenomena and products coming mostly from popular culture. With a diversity of approaches that constantly defy the notion of signature, Boris Achour takes his inspiration from phenomena and products coming mostly from popular culture.
