Dr. George Rouhana
Dr Georges Rouhana (RAY X) is a Franco-Lebanese painter, self-taught neo-expressionist, doctor, researcher, and writer devoted to painting
In his paintings, he favors nonconformist ideas and concepts. He has expressive, detailed, and abstract strokes allowing the viewer the space to reflect.
The red mouth, the marked teeth, and the hands erected upwards sporting a luxury watch are the signature of his paintings. They demonstrated social contradictions, protest movements, and fear in today’s societies.
Ray X is part of the current Neo-expressionism headed by Basquiat and Keith Haring. Painting to me is an act of life. I paint for the love of painting and painters. I paint out of the desire for shapes and colors. Each one of my paintings is a rebirth, a moment of passion. My art comes from a story or an idea - a moment in history, a character, or a feeling.
