Note:
Chantal Khoury is based in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal and was born to Lebanese settlers on the unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik, Mi’kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati peoples/New Brunswick. For her paintings, she abstracts inherited forms that confront a profound cultural loss while simultaneously seeking to retrieve them.
Khoury was recently honoured with the 2023 Joseph Plaskett Award in Painting for her diverse research and rigorous painting techniques in abstraction. Recent solo and group presentations include Nicodim Gallery (Bucharest, Los Angeles, and New York); Jack Barrett Gallery (New York); Marian Cramer Projects (Amsterdam); Coulisse Gallery (Stockholm); Birch Contemporary (Toronto); the McClure Visual Arts Centre (Montreal); and the Beaverbrook Public Art Gallery (Fredericton). Her works are in the permanent collections of the Department of Global Affairs of the Government of Canada, RBC, the Art Gallery of Guelph, and the University of New Brunswick. Khoury has been deeply involved in youth mentorship and arts council juries and taught as a Sessional Lecturer at the University of Guelph, where she also completed her MFA in 2021.
