Hassan Jouni

Jouni is a Lebanese painter who primarily works with oil on canvas. His figurative practice evokes impressionism in color and brushstroke yet seems expressionist in form. Jouni often deconstructs his themes over multiple canvases through a transitional painting style, resulting in varied examples of complex narrative. He imbues emotion into otherwise documentary subject matter in hopes of conveying empathy towards human beings. His work often depicts quotidian scenes of the street and Lebanese cafés, preserving and ushering its heritage into the modern.
