Kevork Mourad’s practice employs drawing and print-based techniques rooted in the artist’s training as a printmaker to create dynamic sculptures, installations, and cross-disciplinary collaborative performances with choreographers, composers, and writers, among others. His intricate architectonic tableaux recall ancient civilizations and are often visual manifestations of oral-history traditions and the artist’s childhood memories of Syria and Armenia. His projects tackle timely issues relating to sociopolitical histories, the plight of political refugees, and religious tolerance, specifically in Jewish, Muslim, and Christian faiths. The artist received an MFA from the Yerevan Institute of Fine Arts and Theatre in 1996 and is the only member of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silkroad Ensemble who is a visual artist.
