Opening Reception for Artist Vanessa Chakour
Thursday, June 27th, 2013 | 6:00pm -8:30pm
at Sustainable NYC | 139 Avenue A, NY NY 10009 
Vanessa's art is her filter, a tool for healing, learning and communication. She has referred to the process of her abstract work as shedding skin, as streams of words and images peel layers toward an authentic place from which she feels and interacts more vividly with life. Her work has been featured in prominent private collections, art publications and public exhibitions. She has been a featured artist in galleries throughout New York; in DUMBO, Tribeca, Chelsea, and was recently selected as one of the 'Bearden 100' tribute to artist Romare Bearden launched at The Rush Arts Gallery. Agora Fine Art Gallery in Chelsea, New York City said this about her work: "Vanessa Chakour's kinetic works are about freedom: freedom to think, freedom to feel, freedom to remember, freedom to meditate, freedom to explore and freedom to move forward. Her images function as politically, culturally aware streams of consciousness, at once reacting to the injustices of recent history and the lively kinesthesia of daily life."
Vanessa recently created a musical language of symbols and images for an upcoming feature film  about the process of creation. A recent series, borne out of dreams and dialogue with the natural world, is created entirely on recycled, found and reconstituted surfaces. She has used her artwork to raise funds and awareness for organizations such as the War Resisters League and The J Dilla Foundation. She has upcoming shows throughout NYC, Amherst, MA and in Lisbon, Portugal and is working on new pieces aligning with her deepening connection to nature.
