# Expansion

A large vertical canvas in warm amber and burnt orange, the surface covered in dense horizontal striations - multiple overlapping circle forms drawn in white across the field, stacked vertically, each one slightly different in size. The circles accumulate rather than resolve: this is not one form but many, the idea of expansion rendered as repetition and layering. The surface is built from interference paints and metal leaf, with the horizontal energy of the striations working against the roundness of the drawn forms. She holds an MFA in Sculpture from the University of Texas at Austin.

### About The Artist Content

Rebecca Koury is a contemporary painter and collage artist whose work explores the relationship between material, movement, and quiet transformation. Rooted in a lifelong curiosity about the natural world and the unseen forces that shape it, her abstractions emerge through a meditative process of layering and building up thin glazes of paint that evoke both depth and transparency.

“The beauty and mystery of Nature inspire my artistic process,” Koury says. “I want to interpret my experience of Nature and express the feeling of this experience through paint and other visual media.”

Raised in an artistic family, Koury was captivated early on by the emotion and depth of Old Masters like Titian. She earned her MFA in Fine Art and Art History from the University of Texas at Austin, where she studied under sculptors William Crist, David Deming, and Thana Lauhakaikul. Her background in sculpture continues to inform her paintings, revealing a dialogue between structure and organic form.

After several years in San Francisco working for Ralph Lauren, Koury relocated to the Monterey Peninsula to dedicate herself fully to painting. Her work has since been featured in more than thirty exhibitions, including the Monterey Museum of Art, the New Museum of Los Gatos, and Gallery MAR Carmel.

Guided by intuition and discovery, Koury creates richly textured, luminous surfaces that invite both reflection and sensory experience. Her works are held in private and corporate collections throughout the United States, as well as in Japan, Pakistan, and the United Arab Emirates.
