Marie Khouri is a Vancouver-based sculptor whose works are rooted in a profound sense of dislocation and the search for a greater sense of place. Khouri’s art—that relays messages of movement, community, and connection—speaks to a unified and diverse audience. Her sculptures are formed through an extensive hands-on process that employs traditional sculpting techniques alongside contemporary innovations in material and building standards. Khouri studied at L’École du Louvre in Paris and has exhibited extensively in Vancouver, Paris, London, and at the Venice Art Biennale. She has installed over 16 public art works in Canada and her large-scale sculptural work is held in private collections across the globe.
