Adele Aproh (b. 1996) lives and works in Paris, France. Aproh brings together a unique visual lexicon to construct fantastical, fictional worlds layered with symbolic depth and narrative intricacy. Working primarily in colored pencil and pastel, her drawings unfold as stories within stories—meticulously composed and rich with surrealist absurdity. Aproh’s work delves into themes of identity, conformity, and the structures of social and professional hierarchies. Through the recurring use of nearly identical protagonists—distinguished by uniform outfits, hairstyles, and synchronized gestures—she explores how individuality is shaped, masked, or lost within collective systems and codes.
