Majzoub, Rafic

Arts + Postcard | Lebanon + Jordan

One of Beirut's most atypical figures in the contemporary art scene, Rafik Majzoub (born in Jordan in 1971) is a painter and a graphic artist whose fame has largely gone beyond his city of adoption. His paintings are raw, sarcastic and tense mainly displaying angular, tortured faces as if they were visual translations of Tom Waits songs.
