PanARMENIAN.Net - "Spring", a solo exhibit by Kevork Mourad will run
from March 1 to April 7 in Providence, Rhode Island, U.S.
According to The Armenian Reporter, "Spring" will be Gallery Z's 112th
exhibit, and features paintings and black and white works on paper.
This will be Kevork Mourad's 10th consecutive solo exhibit at Gallery
Z. Kevork has been featured in group shows at the NYU Small Works
Gallery in 2005 and 2007. His digital piece, The Map of Future
Movements, toured as part of a group exhibition in Jerusalem and
Ramallah, and was in the 2010 Liverpool Biennial. He has also had a
solo exhibit at the JK Gallery in Los Angeles.
Mourad's work has also been exhibited in the courtyard Gallery in
Dubai 2009 and 2010. Five of his pieces are in the permanent
collection on the 70th floor of the Bourj Khalife in Dubai. He has had
work auctioned twice at Christie's Dubai.
With his technique of spontaneous painting, where he shares the stage
with musicians, Kevork uses harsh black lines and palettes of layered
color to bring his paintings to life, moving in rhythm with his
musical counterparts. He has collaborated with many world class
musicians including Syrian clarinetist Kinan Azmeh to American cellist
Yo-Yo Ma. Kevork is also a member of the Silk Road Ensemble as a
visual artist. He has performed at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the
Chelsea Museum of Art, The Bronx Museum of Art, the Rhode Island
School of Design, the Chess Festival of Mexico City, The Armenian
Center for Contemporary Experimental Art in Yerevan, Le Festival du
Monde Arabe in Montreal, the Stillwater Festival, the Nara Museum in
Japan, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Rubin Museum of Art, Harvard
University, the American Museum of Natural History, the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, and Central Park's Summerstage with the Silk Road
Ensemble and Bobby McFerrin.
In 2010 and 2011, with actress/singer Anaïs Tekerian of Zulal, he
co-produced and created two plays, Tangled Yarn and Waterlogged, which
premiered at the New York International Fringe Festival and toured San
Francisco and the Berkshires. His most recent show was in the Lincoln
Center Atrium in NYC, with composer Ezequiel Viñao.
Kevork Mourad was born in 1970 in Syria and received his MFA from the
Yerevan Institute of Fine Arts in Armenia in 1996. He currently lives
and works in New York.
