Free and open to the publicBorn in Beirut, Marwan Rechmaoui's work focuses on urban dynamics, demographics and behaviours. He uses industrial materials such as concrete, rubber, tar and glass to create tactile works on a large scale, many of which focus on the historics of spatial violence in the Lebanese civil war.

About Marwan Rechmaoui
Marwan Rechmaoui is a Lebanese artist of Palestinian origin, who lives and works in Beirut, Lebanon. As an influential, politically engaged and unique artist, his work is marked by depth and verisimilitude. Rechmaoui is best known for his sculptural works replicating city buildings and the topography of Beirut.
The work of Rechmaoui, though sculptural, three-dimensional and industrial in the raw material it employs for its finished objects, it is never intrusive rather, it emotes a great deal of inclusiveness and tenderness.Marwan Rechmaoui Exhibitions: http://www.sfeir-semler.com/gallery-artists/marwan-rechmaoui/
