Aleah Koury

Artist Biography

Aleah Koury is an impressionist with a contemporary flair as evidenced by his command of subject matter ranging from mysterious abstracted landscape and stately romantic gardens to his boldly geometric yet purely harmonious jazz series. The artist relies on the sensory use of color in his art, prints and posters which evokes a mood that is soft, yet intense. The palette in his atmospheric pastels simulates landscapes with subtle horizons, separating earth, water and sky. Rich in color, Koury's abstract landscapes depict impressionistic skies which flow gracefully into horizons accented with dunes and reeds. Rich, jewel-toned clouds sweep across skies of contrasting and complementary colors, creating romantic, modern landscapes.

Aleah has created art, prints and posters in which whimsical and geometric forms, reminiscent of Paul Klee or Joan Miro, float across multi-layered backgrounds impregnated with a dazzling variety of materials. The Giclee process has proved to be the perfect means for translating these extraordinary works into print form. It is able to capture the finest gradations of tone and color, as well as the varied textures and surfaces of the original pieces.

"I have had fun creating a visual vocabulary that speaks in a variety of ways. I am inventing unique shapes meant to provoke a response from the viewer.” Color is always key in Koury's art, prints and posters. "I believe a color gains importance because of the color placed next to it. I feel this created visual electricity is always unique and stimulating.” Playful and powerful are words that symbolize Koury's bold approach.
