Born in Beirut in 1951, cosmopolitan and internationalist in his thinking, Mohamad Rawas frequently “quotes” images from European art and photography – from Michelangelo to Peter Blake, from Vermeer to Nadar – as well as from his Middle Eastern roots. Words and three – dimensional assemblages find a place on many of the canvases, further extending a work’s expressive possibilities. Mohamad Rawas is on e of the most innovative Lebanese artists on the contemporary scene. His art is multifaceted and dynamic; using symbols and references to create ambiguous worlds that seem to stand outside a particular place or time. He is dedicated t the endless quest of manipulating paint and mixed media, and to breaking the boundaries of conventional pictorial techniques. The works of Rawas could be found in different public collections and museums in London, Sharjah, Norway, Baghdad, Lebanon, Tunis & Amman.
