Jean-Marc Nahas
Lebanese, born 1963
Expressionism, Figurative, and Minimalism
Jean-Marc Nahas is a Lebanese artist born in 1963 who draws to express his experience in the tragedy of war, isolation, and suffering. His work is held in collections such as The British Museum and Bank Audi. Nahas’ art is figurative and expressionistic, with a monochromatic and minimalist style that is impulsively violent, yet authentic and singular. His focus is on the dialogue that occurs between himself and the subject he draws, which is inspired by the ordinary scenes of daily life. His work is his therapy and his reason for being, and he hopes that it can touch people who, like him, want to give a place to different children to fight against pain and injustice.
