Lives and works in New York, NY
Jake Couri is a visual artist working across painting, sculpture, and CGI to explore how emotional and symbolic meaning is embedded in form. His recent paintings mark a return to the medium where he began, translating fragments of writing, memories, and unresolved thoughts into layered images shaped by a sculptural sense of space and materiality. Through brushwork, subtle figuration, and recurring motifs, each piece investigates how feeling can be held in image.
Rooted in a process that moves fluidly between journaling, visual research, and material experimentation, Jake’s practice draws from his background in fabricating sculptural objects and crafting digital avatars. Whether casting silicone, rendering in CGI, or painting on canvas, his work reflects a consistent inquiry into how symbols, gestures, and atmosphere hold the weight of lived experience and reflect ongoing transformation.
