Benoît Debbane

Architect, painter, and illustrator, Benoît Debbane is also a pioneer in the realm of local street art. Scornful of recurring art themes, Debbane has fun exploring the odd characters, lustful women, and monsters that inhabit the depths of his imagination… Once his visions are brought to life, his work – which he refers to as “Doodling” – makes up a patchwork with a candid and child-like appearance. If you look closely, hiding behind the plump forms and joyful colors lays a somber and dark reality that reflects the artist’s perception of Lebanese society.
