Over the past twenty years, Hungarian artist Róza El-Hassan's (b. Budapest 1966) drawings, objects, installations, and actions have earned her international recognition. In the earlier works, a conceptual approach predominates; since 1999, she has created diary-like drawings and collages. For the artist, who has Syrian as well as Hungarian roots, drawing as a research technique always also implies a quest for her own identity. Between ornament and protest, her drawings negotiate fundamental issues of artistic autonomy, political relevance, and aesthetic aspiration.
