Known for his signature style of spontaneous drawing and printmaking techniques, Syrian artist Kevork Mourad was invited by Arts Transcending Borders and the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery at the College of the Holy Cross to create the site-specific installation "Memory Gates" during a ten-day residency in Spring 2021. The work, imagined as a series of doors and passageways that visitors can pass through, explores themes of cultural plurality and collective memory.

    Amazing how he taught his audience this technique in 10 minutes. I also appreciated that he was clear about how it's fine to improvise with the tools. Art supplies are expensive, so it's a valuable piece of advice to show how to improvise. Thank you!

    Wonderful to see an artist draw with such looseness and confidence! Thank you for the demonstration!

    He is that kind of person, that only talks to you 10 minutes, but it is long enough time to make you realize that he is a really nice and humble human being! Thank you for the inspiration my friend! :)

    I'm not even sure how I came across this video, but Wow, how lucky am I to have found you!! I have never tried this technique but now I will. Thank you for sharing! 😊🌺

    Such a humle, warm hearted man, and proffessional too. Thank you so much for sharing this with us 💝

    Kevork is a terrific artist and I thank him for sharing his information. Kevork's technique can also be used with a gel printing plate instead of painting on a sheet of glass or plexiglass. If you want to make your own gel printing plate there are several videos of recipes and instructions available on You Tube. I use both the commercially made plates and home made plates. You can save money by making your own gel printing plate. If you use the glass or plexiglass sheets that is also great.

    This was beautiful to watch. Thankyou for showing us your technique.

    This frantic but sculptural and precise way of mono printing is quite a sight, it’s like the closest you can get in print making and painting to a Giacometti sculpture. I know what it’s like to race with acrylic paint, great stuff.

  • @triggersw3350
    Great demonstration. Just long enough to show possibiities of a quick, loose free style. I'm inspired.
  • @jespermost578
    I agree this man is really good company and a great artist! I wish you great success and I hope you can live of doing this!
  • @OurWisdoms
    I admire his skill moving the sculpting "tool". I can use this technique in my paintings. Very nice, thank you!

    The secret is the quality of the medium and the paper.
  • @KathyBrooksArt
    This is great, really enjoyed it and it's so doable with minimal tools. Thank you so much!
