About

Ella is an exhibition which examines the personal connections every person has to a woman. Be it their mother, grandmother, sister, cousin, friend, or significant other, every person has a special woman in their life. Through her series of sculptures Nour Kuri explores the connection, perception, and emotion we have with the women in our lives. This exhibition not only challenges the viewer to think about these connections in their own lives but is also a celebration of the achievements of women in all aspects of life.

This exhibition was organized by the artist, Nour Kuri.

Artist Bio

Nour Kuri was born in Mexico City, a city that has been her magical source of inspiration. She has a degree in social communications from Anahuac University. Nour perceives reality beyond appearances and uses sculpture as her medium to communicate her emotions and feelings through bronze, marble, wood, terra cotta, and glass. Her style has been described as modern, surrealist expressionism that incorporates stylized human shapes leaning towards abstraction while maintaining closeness with the original source of inspiration. Her recurrent subject matter is the stylized human figure expressed in different instances of life, individually, as family, or even as a community.

Nour Kuri has over 40 solo exhibitions at museums and galleries in Mexico, the USA, and Europe. Her work is part of the permanent collections at the Contemporary Art Museum (MACAM), the Migration Nucleus Museum in Lebanon, and in private collections. She has created urban, monumental sculptures at important avenues in several cities throughout Mexico.

For Nour, art is her passion, her life, her inner expression and language.

Sobre la exposición

Ella es una exposición que examina las conexiones personales que cada persona tiene con una mujer. Ya sea su madre, abuela, hermana, prima, amiga o pareja, cada persona tiene una mujer especial en su vida. A través de su serie de esculturas, Nour Kuri explora las conexiones, las percepciones y las emociones que tenemos con las mujeres en nuestras vidas. Esta exposición no sólo desafía al espectador a pensar en estas conexiones en sus propias vidas, sino que también es una celebración de los logros de las mujeres en todos los aspectos de la vida.

Biografía artista

Nour Kuri nació en la Ciudad de México, un ciudad que ha sido su mágica fuente de inspiración. Tiene un título en comunicaciones sociales de la Universidad de Anahuac.

Nour percibe la realidad más allá de las apariencias y utiliza la escultura como medio para comunicar sus emociones y sentimientos a través del bronce, mármol, madera, terra cotta y vidrio.

Su estilo ha sido descrito como expresionismo surrealista moderno que incorpora formas humanas estilizadas que se inclinan hacia la abstracción, manteniendo al mismo tiempo la cercanía con la fuente original de inspiración. Su tema recurrente es la figura humana estilizada expresada en diferentes instancias de vida, individualmente, como familia, o incluso como comunidad.

Nour Kuri cuenta con más de 40 exposiciones en solitario en museos y galerías en México, Estados Unidos y Europa. Su trabajo forma parte de las colecciones permanentes del Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (MACAM), el Museo de Migración Nucleus en Líbano y en colecciones privadas. Ha creado esculturas urbanas y monumentales en importantes avenidas en varias ciudades de México.

Para Nour, el arte es su pasión, su vida, su expresión interior y su lenguaje.
