For UNTITLED, ART Miami Beach, Rebecca Camacho Presents featured a solo presentation of works by Sahar Khoury. An Oakland CA based multi-media sculptor, houry consistently infuses her practice with a larger social dialogue. Whether visible - the utilization of found or recycled objects to create recognizable cultural reference points; or discreet - the layering in of personal mementos, indistinguishable notations of time and place; Khoury's works absorb the histories embedded in their discarded materials and reinvents them with new potential.
With clear indications of hand and process reflected in the finished works, Khoury creates sculptures outside of structured methodology. Using materials such as ceramic, concrete, steel, paper-mâché, resin, cloth and leather to construct individual units that are puzzled and bolted together, the artist bypasses the traditional center of object making and inhabits a unique space that is aesthetically raw and purposefully unruly while also formally elegant, pure and emotionally beautiful.
In 2019, Khoury received thevSan Francisco Museum of Modern Art SECA Art Award.
