Semaan Khawam [a.k.a. “birdman”] is a Syrian-Lebanese artist based between Beirut and London. His work encompasses both painting and sculpture, in addition to graffiti and poetry, that addresses contemporary issues such as migration and identity.
About
Imagery and figuration of birds is prevalent in his work, in reference to his alter ego, and hence his nickname, as birds tend to possess freedoms in movement that human beings do not. The lovely little bastards have and will always have that over us.
Semaan’s work has been exhibited in Lebanon, Bahrain, Jordan, Berlin, France, Italy, New York, Singapore, Taiwan and the UK, in over 30 collective exhibitions. He has also had numerous successful solo shows. Semaan appreciates collaborations with other artists; one of his many endeavors is the Sleeping with the Enemy productions which is an artists' collective project.
