I've recently re.created Mental Landscapes - exhibited originally at Saifi Village - as part of the summer collective of Artheum / Art Lounge.

the artworks "reflect a perception of a reality that is only present in the Artist’s mind. His mastery rests not only in his personal daring and desire to capture the city’s bipolar mindset, but also in his skillful use of details to capture Beirut’s mental confusion of glamorous dream and scarred reality.

From small watercolors and marker sketches to large installations, machine-made structures mixed with hand drawings, Etienne Bastormagi turned his everyday landscapes into complex maps that reflect the states of mind of the man amidst his built environment."
