Biography
Born in Lebanon in 1970, Mansour El Habre studied fine arts at the Lebanese University and the University of Balamand. His practice as a printmaker, painter, and draftsman often offers a surreal perspective on the quotidian, with recent works featuring chaotic collage-effect canvases that depict faceless or animal-headed figures. Through vibrant and atmospheric compositions, El Habre distills the complexities and overlapping narratives of reality into elemental forms and colors.
El Habre’s work is prominently featured in notable institutions and art spaces in Beirut, including a permanent collection at Galerie Janine Rubeiz, which has also showcased his pieces at Art Dubai and Abu Dhabi. His international presence spans numerous exhibitions across the Gulf, Europe, and North America. He currently resides in Beirut, where he serves as an instructor at the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts (ALBA).
