Kevork Mourad was born in Kameshli, Syria, trained at the Yerevan Institute of Fine Art, and lives in New York. He moves between painting, drawing and moving image, often bringing his visuals into music and performance. His animated and live visuals have travelled from the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the Aga Khan Museum, and from Walt Disney Concert Hall to the Elbphilharmonie.
His work is in the permanent collections of the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris and the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto, and his practice has been recognised with the Robert Bosch Stiftung prize.
