Chad Kouri finds his inspiration from his work as a graphic designer creating texturally rich pieces using found and vintage paper. He hails from a small town north of Detroit and now lives and works in Chicago where he is an active participant in the thriving art community, contributing to and creating his own magazines while working as a member of ThePostFamily and the RRR Collective. He has collaborated with artists such as Cody Hudson, Stephen Eichhorn & Pia Howell. He was recently named one of Newcity Magazine's breakout artists of 2011 and showed at their booth at NEXT in Chicago this past spring. Previously, he has held the title of Art Director at the award winning contemporary art magazine Proximity. His projects range in diversity from publications to collage, to sculpture, print and music.
