Represented by Green Art Gallery in Dubai, Chaouki Choukini is a Lebanese-born, Paris-based artist, who is known for his bold yet poetic wooden sculptures.

Aside from showing his works in the UAE, the award-winning Choukini has been widely exhibited in France. In addition, his sculptures have been acquired by Amman's National Gallery of Fine Arts, Sharjah's Barjeel Art Foundation, and Paris' Centre National des Arts Plastiques, among others.Art Dubai 2018 will take place from March 21-24, 2018 at Madinat Jumeirah.
