About
Why this artist matters now
Marwan Rechmaoui is a Lebanese artist working across sculpture, installation, and drawing whose practice engages with urban space, architecture, and the material traces of political and social transformation. His work attends to the physical aftermath of conflict and development, using found objects and site-specific interventions to interrogate how cities bear witness to historical change. Drawing, sculpture, and installation operate as interconnected modes of investigation rather than discrete disciplines.
