Aleah Koury

Aleah Koury is an impressionist with a contemporary flair. He relies on the use of colour that 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 colour, 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 colours, creating romantic, modern landscapes.

Koury’s jazz series combines a playful dance of colour with gold leaf and metallic foils, intertwining shapes to create a sense of spontaneous drama, rhythm and fluid movement. This series reveals his accomplished background in both ceramics and printmaking in the layered surfaces, lyrical quality of the drawing and finely rendered balance of colour and design.

Koury is the recipient of numerous awards and honours. His works are included in the collections of several major corporations.
