Benoit Debbane, b. 1974, is a Lebanese painter who studied architecture at ALBA (Academie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts, Beirut, Lebanon) and currently works in Beirut as a freelance illustrator. His work as a painter is freely inspired by his cat and soul mate “pichu”, and the various vinyl characters and monsters he collects and surrounds himself with. Debbane started off as a graffiti artist back in the1990’s on the walls of Beirut and keeps on practicing street art to this day, creating funny characters and reinterpreting his childhood heroes Bruce Lee and Grendizer in a vivid and comical warped way.
